Reporting Burden on States and Private Sector

CMS is renewing/revising an information collection to support annual EQRs and estimates 681 respondents, 7,236 responses, and 887,086 total annual hours to provide the requested information. This imposes time and resource costs on the affected state agencies and private-sector organizations that must supply the data.

Annual Quality Reviews Posted Publicly

States must provide information for annual External Quality Reviews (EQR) of Medicaid and CHIP managed care. The EQR results are publicly posted so Medicaid/CHIP enrollees and potential enrollees can see quality information and use it when choosing plans or providers.
