Abstract: Section 6001(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA) amended section 1877(d)(2) and (d)(3) of the Act to impose additional restrictions in order to qualify for the rural provider and whole hospital exceptions under the physician self-referral law. Among those restrictions were provisions requiring hospitals to prevent conflicts of interest by disclosing physician ownership or investment interest to patients and also requiring hospitals to take certain steps to ensure patient safety.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We are adjusting our burden estimate to reflect the changes in the number of physician owned hospitals and CAHs from the previous package which was 265 compared to the current number of 81. Additionally, for CY 2016 there were changes in the number of inpatient and outpatient claims submitted to the MACs for payment from hospitals and CAHs. This current claim information was used to calculate burden associated with the estimated inpatients and outpatients that are required to receive disclosure notices. These changes decreased the estimated burden hours from 333,583 to 181,505.
