Abstract:
OWCP requires institutional medical providers who provide services to beneficiaries covered under FECA, BLBA and EEOICPA to bill using a form based on the industry standard, the UB-92. Form OWCP-92 identifies the beneficiary , the type of services provided, the conditions being treated and billed amounts. This information is required by OWCP to enable it to pay providers for covered services. On January 5, 2007, Form OWCP-92, which incorporates the first page of the paper UB-92, was renewed for three years in OMB Control NO. 1215-0176. However, the National Uniform billing Committee (a non-governmental body) has recently made minor changes to the UB-92 to accommodate reporting of the National Provider Identifier (NPI), and has renamed the form as the UB-04. Since the OWCP-92 incorporates the first page of this collection instrument, this 83-C is being submitted to accommodate the incorporation of the nre UB-04 into the OWCP-92, which has been renamed as the OWCP-04. No change is sought in the expiration date of January 31, 2010.

Short Statement:
Many of the data fields on the Form OWCP-92 are generated in electronic billing systems already used by hospitals and other institutional medical providers for patient billing, inventories, and bookkeeping. As a result, this reduces the burden hours for any one use of the form. In addition, institutional providers are reducing their use of the form for billing purposes and are moving to other billing formats. For these reasons, OMB Form 83-I shows a net adjustment decrease of -23,440 hours.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$906,273
