The Healthcare Research and Quality
Act of 1999 amended the Public Health Service Act to establish a
new program to support graduate medical education in children's
hospitals. Children's hospitals will be requested to submit
information reporting the number of full-time equivalent residents
applying for training programs. This will determine the amount of
direct and indirect expense payments.
Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services' final rule regarding Sections 5503, 5504, 5505
and 5506 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Vol. 75, No. 226,
11/24/2010) requires some modification of the data collection
within the CHGME Payment Program Application. In the previous ICR,
there was an estimated total of 3499.8 burden hours. With the
current package, we are requesting a total of 3729.6 hours, which
is an increase of 229.8 burden hours.
