Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review, 29826-29827 [E5-2592]

Download as PDF 29826 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 24, 2005 / Notices Title: Regulation for Submission of Evidence—Title 38 CFR 17.1C1 (a) (2). OMB Control Number: 2900–0606. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: The regulation authorizes VA to bill ‘‘reasonable charges’’ instead of ‘‘reasonable cost’’ for medical care or services provided or furnished to a veteran for a non-service connected disability. Under the provisions of 38 CFR 17.101(a)(4), a third party payer that is liable for reimbursing VA for care and services VA provided to a veteran with non-service-connected conditions continues to have the option of paying either the billed charges or the amount the health plan demonstrates it would pay to providers other than entities of the United States for the same care or services in the same geographic area. If the amount submitted for payment is less than the amount billed, VA will accept the submission as payment, subject to verification at VA’s discretion. VA may request the thirdparty payer to submit evidence or information to substantiate the appropriateness of the payment amount (e.g., health plan policies, provider agreements, medical evidence, and proof of payment to other providers demonstrating the amount paid for the same care and services VA provided). VA uses the information to determine whether the third-party payer has met the test of properly demonstrating its equivalent private sector provider payment amount for the same care or services and within the same geographic area as provided by VA. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on January 11, 2005, at pages 1934–1935.
