Description
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing an opportunity for the public to comment on CMS' intention to collect information from the public. This is in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which requires federal agencies to publish notice and allow 60 days for public comment on proposed information collections. The collection involves the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey for Merit-based Incentive Payment Systems (MIPS), which gathers data on Medicare beneficiaries' experiences with clinicians. The survey results are used for quality reporting, public reporting on physician performance, and annual statistical reports.
