CMS-10638 Add-On Payments for New Medical Services and Technologies
Paid Under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS)
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires Federal agencies
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Add-On Payments
for New Medical Services and Technologies Paid Under the Inpatient
Prospective Payment System (IPPS); Use: Sections 1886(d)(5)(K) and (L)
of the Act establish a process of identifying and ensuring adequate
payment for new medical services and technologies (sometimes
collectively referred to in this section as ``new technologies'') under
the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS). Section
1886(d)(5)(K)(vi) of the Act specifies that a medical service or
technology will be considered new if it meets criteria established by
the Secretary after notice and opportunity for public comment. Section
1886(d)(5)(K)(ii)(I) of the Act specifies that a new medical service or
technology may be considered for NTAP if, ``based on the estimated
costs incurred with respect to discharges involving such service or
technology, the DRG prospective payment rate otherwise applicable to
such discharges under this subsection is inadequate.''
In order to qualify for NTAP under the traditional pathway, a
specific technology must be ``new'' and demonstrate that they are not
substantially similar to existing technologies under the requirements
of Sec. 412.87(b)(2) of our regulations. The statutory provision
contemplated the special payment treatment for new technologies until
such time as data are available to reflect the cost of the technology
in the DRG weights through recalibration (no less than 2 years and no
more than 3 years). Alternative pathway technologies must also be
``new'' but are considered not substantially similar to existing
technologies. Responses to the questions in the application help CMS
determine if and how the applicant meets the established. Form Number:
CMS-10638 (OMB control number: 0938-1347); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private Sector, Business or other for-profits and Not-for-
profits institutions; Number of Respondents: 62; Number of Responses:
62; Total Annual Hours: 1,655. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Sophia Chan at 410-786-8348.)
Dated: June 22, 2023.
