U.S.C., chapter 18, as amended by section
401, Public Law 106–419 and section 102,
Public Law 108–183. VA’s medical
regulations 38 CFR part 17 (17.900 through
17.905) establish regulations regarding
provision of health care for certain children
of Korea and Vietnam veterans and women
Vietnam veterans’ children born with spina
bifida and certain other covered birth defects.
These regulations also specify the
information to be included in requests for
preauthorization and claims from approved
health care providers.
6. Payment of Claims for Provision of
Health Care for Certain Children of Korea
and/or Vietnam Veterans (includes provider
billing and VA Forms 10–7959e). This data
collection is for the purpose of claiming
payment/reimbursement of expenses related
to spina bifida and certain covered birth
defects. Beneficiaries utilize VA Form 10–
7959e, VA Claim for Miscellaneous
Expenses. Providers utilize provider
generated billing statements and standard
billing forms such as: Uniform Billing-Forms
UB–04, and CMS 1500, Medicare Health
Insurance Claims Form. VA would be unable
to determine the correct amount to reimburse
providers for their services or beneficiaries
for covered expenses without the requested
information. The information is instrumental
in the timely and accurate processing of
provider and beneficiary claims for
reimbursement. The frequency of
submissions is not determined by VA, but
will determined by the provider or claimant
and will be based on the volume of medical
services and supplies provided to patients
and claims for reimbursement are submitted
individually or in batches.
7. Review and Appeal Process Regarding
Provision of Health Care or Payment Relating
to Provision of Health Care for Certain
Children of Korea and/or Vietnam Veterans.
The provisions of 38 CFR 17.904 establish a
review process regarding disagreements by
an eligible veteran’s child or representative
with a determination concerning provision of
health care or a health care provider’s
disagreement with a determination regarding
payment. The person or entity requesting
reconsideration of such determination is
required to submit such a request to the Chief
Business Office Purchased Care (CBOPC)
(Attention: Chief, Customer Service), in
writing within one year of the date of initial
determination. The request must state why
the decision is in error and include any new

reconsideration. If such person or entity
