Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Generic Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
AGENCY:
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
[top] On May 28, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) guidance related to the "generic" clearance process. Generally, this is an expedited process by which agencies may obtain OMB's approval of collection of information requests that are "usually voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial collections," do not raise any substantive or policy issues, and do not require policy or methodological review. The process requires the submission of an overarching plan that defines the scope of the individual collections that would fall under its umbrella. On October 23, 2011, OMB approved our initial request to use the generic clearance process under control number 0938-1148 (CMS-10398). It was last approved on April 26, 2021, via the standard PRA process which included the publication of 60- and 30-day Federal Register notices. The scope of the April 2021 umbrella accounts for Medicaid and CHIP State plan amendments, waivers, demonstrations, and reporting. This

Generic Information Collections
1. Title of Information Collection: Managed Care Rate Setting Guidance; Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Use: The rate guide provides guidance and template content for state submission of actuarial rate certifications for Medicaid managed care capitation rates per 42 CFR 438.4 through 438.7. States are required to submit rate certifications for all Medicaid managed care capitation rates per §?438.7. The guide specifies our requirements for the rate certification and details what types of documentation should be included. The elements include descriptions of data used, projected benefit and non-benefit costs, rate range development, risk and contract provisions, and other considerations in all rate setting packages. It also details expectations for states when they submit rate certifications. Section 1903(m) of the Social Security Act requires that the capitation rates paid to Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) are actuarially sound. States must submit a rate certification for each set of capitation rates developed. Section 438.7(e) requires that CMS annually publish this guidance.
