Title: Collection or Recovery by VA
for Medical Care or Services Provided or
Furnished to a Veteran for a NonserviceConnected Disability.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0606.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Public Law 105–33
amended the statutory provision of 38
U.S.C. 1729 to authorize VA to bill
‘‘reasonable charges’’ instead of
‘‘reasonable cost’’ for medical care or
services provided or furnished to a
Veteran:
(a) For a non-service connected
disability for which the Veteran is
entitled to care (or the payment of
expenses of care) under a health-plan
contract;
(b) For a non-service connected
disability incurred incident to the
Veteran’s employment and covered
under a worker’s compensation law or
plan that provides reimbursement or
indemnification for such care and
services; or
(c) For a non-service connected
disability incurred as a result of a motor
vehicle accident in a State that requires
automobile accident reparations
insurance.
‘‘Reasonable charges’’ are collected
from available data (that includes
complexity of care, degree of skill,
provider specialty, and third party payer
prevailing charges in other area) to set
the local market charges for each
geographic area where VA provides
care. ‘‘Reasonable cost’’, on the other
hand, does not factor all of these criteria
and can impact the amount reimbursed
to the VA. In the circumstances
described above, third party payers set
their allowable rate structure for
compensable care based on their
payment methodology, thus the
importance in obtaining this
information to ensure VA is reimbursed
similarly to non-government entities.
VA also utilizes reasonable charges to
settle subrogated claims for worker’s
compensation or motor vehicle
accidents.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 800 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: Two hours.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
