Abstract:
Form OWCP-1500 is used by OWCP and contractor bill payment staff to process bills for medical services provided by medical professionals other than medical services provided by hospitals, pharmacies and certain other medical providers. OWCP is adding the data elements National Provider Identifier (NPI) and taxonomy number, which will be 32a and 33a on the revised OWCP-1500. This information is required to pay health care providers for services rendered to injured employees covered under the Office of Worker's Compensation Programs - administered programs. Appropriate payment cannot be made without documentation of the medical services that were provided by the health care provider that is billing OWCP. The information obtained to complete claims under these programs is used to identify the patient and determine their eligibility. It is also used to decide if the services and supplies received are covered by these programs and to assure that proper payment is made.

Short Statement:
As use of the OWCP-1500 as the standard billing form for all three programs increases, the total number of bills submitted on the form also increases. Other factors also affect use of the OWCP-1500. For example, improved medical technology has resulted in an increase in outpatient services with a comparable decrease in inpatient services. This place of service change has resulted in an increase in the use of the OWCP-1500 because it is the most commonly used billing form for outpatient services. For these reasons, this collection shows a net adjustment increase of +16,451 hours.
