Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2018 / Proposed Rules
claim filing deadline will be reviewed
individually and considered on its own
merit. VA may grant exceptions to the
requirements in paragraph (a) of this
section if it determines that there was
good cause for missing the filing
deadline. For example, when dual
coverage exists, CHAMPVA payment, if
any, cannot be determined until after
the primary insurance carrier has
adjudicated the claim. In such
circumstances an exception may be
granted provided that the delay on the
part of the primary insurance carrier is
not attributable to the beneficiary.
Delays due to provider billing
procedures do not constitute a valid
basis for an exception.
(c) Claims for CHAMPVA-covered
services and supplies provided before
the date of the event that qualifies an
individual under § 17.271 are not
reimbursable.
(d) CHAMPVA is the last payer to
OHI, as that term is defined in
§ 17.270(b). CHAMPVA benefits will
generally not be paid until the claim has
been filed with the OHI and the OHI has
issued a final payment determination or
explanation of benefits. CHAMPVA is
secondary payer to Medicare per the
terms of § 17.271(b).

■ 10. Revise newly redesignated
§ 17.277 to read as follows:
ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with PROPOSALS
§ 17.277
Appeals.
Notice of the initial determination
regarding payment of CHAMPVA
benefits will be provided to the
CHAMPVA beneficiary on a CHAMPVA
Explanation of Benefits (EOB) form. The
EOB form is generated by the
CHAMPVA automated payment
processing system. If a CHAMPVA
beneficiary or provider disagrees with
the determination concerning
CHAMPVA-covered services and
supplies or calculation of benefits, he or
she may request reconsideration. Such
requests must be submitted to VA in
writing within one year of the date of
the initial determination. The request
must state why the CHAMPVA claimant
believes the decision is in error and
must include any new and relevant
information not previously considered.
Any request for reconsideration that
does not identify the reason for dispute
will be returned to the claimant without
further consideration. After reviewing
the claim and any relevant supporting
documentation, VA will issue a written
determination to the claimant that
affirms, reverses, or modifies the
previous decision. If the claimant is still
dissatisfied, within 90 days of the date
of the decision he or she may make a
written request for review by VA. After

reviewing the claim and any relevant
supporting documentation, VA will
issue a written determination to the
claimant that affirms, reverses, or
modifies the previous decision. The
decision of VA with respect to benefit
coverage and computation of benefits is
final. When a CHAMPVA beneficiary
has other health insurance (OHI), an
appeal must first be filed with the OHI,
and a determination made, before
submitting the appeal to CHAMPVA
with limited exceptions such as if the
OHI deems the issue non-appealable.
Denial of CHAMPVA benefits based on
legal eligibility requirements may be
appealed to the Board of Veterans’
Appeals in accordance with 38 CFR part
20. Medical determinations are not
appealable to the Board. 38 CFR 20.101.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, 1781)
11. Revise newly redesignated
§ 17.278 to read as follows:
■
§ 17.278
Medical care cost recovery.
VA will actively pursue medical care
cost recovery in accordance with
applicable law.

The National Marine
Fisheries Service is proposing this
Commerce Trusted Trader Program

voluntary CTTP supplements the

Qualified importers who choose to
participate in the CTTP would benefit
from reduced reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, and
streamlined entry into U.S. commerce
for seafood imports subject to the SIMP.
