SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs administers the
Federal Black Lung Workers’
Compensation Program. The enabling
regulations of the Black Lung Benefits
Act, at 20 CFR 725.701, establishes
miner eligibility for medical services
and supplies for the length of time
required by the miner’s condition and
disability. 20 CFR 706 stipulates there
must be prior approval before ordering
an apparatus where the purchase price
exceeds $300.00. 20 CFR 725.707
provides for the ongoing supervision of
the miner’s medical care, including the
necessity, character and sufficiency of
care to be furnished; gives the authority
to request medical reports and indicates
the right to refuse payment for failing to
submit any reports required. Because of
the above legislation and regulations, it
was necessary to devise a form to collect
the required information. The CM–893,
Certificate of Medical Necessity is
completed by the coal miner’s doctor
and is used by the Division of Coal Mine
Worker’s Compensation to determine if
the miner meets impairment standards
to qualify for durable medical
equipment, home nursing, and/or
pulmonary rehabilitation. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through October 31,
2011.
