Previous terms continue: CMS must obtain OMB approval for each data collection instrument under this Generic ICR by submitting a mini-supporting statement describing the purpose and protocol of each collection. This generic includes four types of ICs. GenICs of the first two types (registration and participant opinions and priorities) may be submitted to OMB at any time. However, before submitting clearance requests to OMB for GenICs for tracking the adoption of alternative payment systems and for tracking the characteristics of alternative payment models adopted, CMS has committed to first conducting pilot tests with less than 10 LAN participants and then, once the approaches for full-scale data collection are finalized, posting the details of those methods for a public for a 30 day comment period through the LAN website, blog, newsletter, and other communication mediums if needed, such as webinars and listening sessions.

To more effectively partner with stakeholders across the health care system and accelerate transformation through the use of alternative payment models, CMS launched the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network (LAN) to accelerate the transition to Medicare and non-Medicare alternative payment models by collaborating with a broad array of health care delivery stakeholders, identifying best practices in their implementation, and monitoring the adoption of value-based alternative payment models across the U.S. health care system—to include the percentage of Medicare, Medicaid, and non-Medicare payments tied to (and U.S. lives covered by) alternative payment models that reward the quality of care delivered.
CMS requests a generic clearance to assist in monitoring and characterizing the adoption of alternative payment models in order to meaningfully inform 1115A model decisions on the design, selection, testing, modification, and expansion of innovative payment and service delivery models in accordance with the requirements of section 1115A.
CMS is requesting 25,917 burden hours in this extension to its current generic clearance. The total number of burden hours already approved (49,400) has been reduced by previously-approved GenICs.
