Terms of Clearance: The HCFA-485 amendment proposed in this package is disapproved/ continued because the Department failed to demonstrate the practical utility of such an amendment in meeting the objectives of the court order in "Duggan vs. Bowen". OMB is supportive of the Department's efforts to comply with this suit, and suggests implementing more effective, focused, and less burdensome procedures such as submission of the HCFA-488 for cases exceeding prescribed limits on hours per home health visit.
