CMS-10387 Minimum Data Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) For the collection of data related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (QRP)
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 Collections
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Minimum Data Set 3.0 Nursing Home and Swing Bed Prospective Payment System (PPS) For the collection of data related to the Patient Driven Payment Model and the Skilled Nursing Facility Quality Reporting Program (QRP); Use: We are requesting to implement the MDS 3.0 v1.20.1 beginning October 1, 2025 in order to meet the requirements of policies finalized in the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) final rule (CMS-1802-F, RIN 0938-AV30). Specifically, we finalized the collection of four new items as standardized patient assessment data elements, modified one item collected as a standardized patient assessment data element, and removed twenty-two items that are not needed for case-mix adjusting the SNF per diem payment for PDPM. As a result of these changes, the total annual hour burden across facilities has decreased, and the annual cost burden across facilities has decreased. Form Number: CMS-10387 (OMB control number: 0938-1140); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions; Number of Respondents: 15,477; Total Annual Responses: 1,766,806; Total Annual Hours: 2,675,583. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Heidi Magladry at 410-786-6034).
