Indian Health Service, HHS.
Request for public comment:
60-day proposed information collection:
Indian Health Service Contract Health
Service Report.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Indian Health Service
(IHS), as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a pre-clearance
consultation program to provide the
general public and Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections
of information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the IHS is
providing a 60-day advance opportunity
for public comment on a proposed new
collection of information to be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review.
Proposed Collection:
Title: 0917–0002, ‘‘ Indian Health
Service Contract Health Service
Report’’.
Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension, without revision, of
currently approved information
collection 0917–0002, ‘‘Indian Health
Service Contract Health Service
Report’’.
Form Number: IHS 843–1A.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose for the
collection is to authorize contract health
care providers to provide health care
services to eligible IHS patients. The
IHS form 843–1A ‘‘Order for Health
Services’’ was developed specifically for
this collection of information. Other
than revising the title ‘‘PurchaseDelivery Order for Health Services’’ to
read ‘‘Order for Health Services’’,
acquisition terms on the front of the
form, the contract clauses contained on
the back of copy 3 of the form, the form
has not been revised and there is no
change in the substance or in the use of
the form. A copy of the form is at
Attachment 2.

contained in this form is completed by
Estimated

the streamlined form and submit it,
along with a completed standard
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid

forms are used and accepted nationwide by the health care industry and
IHS is an approved user.
The information collection is needed
to administer and manage the contract
health care services provided to eligible
American Indian and Alaska Native
patients. The form is used to: Authorize
contract health care services for eligible
patients; certify that the health care
services requested and authorized have
been performed by the contract
provider(s); process payments for health
care services performed by such
providers; obtain program data; and,
serve as a legal document for health and
medical care authorized by the IHS and
rendered by health care providers under
contract with the IHS.
The information collected is also used
for: Planning for further care of the
patient; for keeping an accurate record
of the patient’s health status and health
services received and recommended; for
planning future health care programs;
for communicating among members of
the health care team; for evaluating the
health care rendered; for research and
continuing education; and, for the
