We have approved
this paperwork package consisting of three uniform health insurance
claim forms, the OWCP 1500, the Resubmission Turnaround Document,
and the OWCP 82, for one year. We have given less than the full
three-year clearance to this package so that any changes to the
HCFA-1500, which is currently under OMB review, may be considered
by ESA. This will serve to maintain the coordination and
compatibility between the HCFA form and its OWCP counterpart. DOL
shall continue to consider the use of the RTD in the Federal
Employees' Compensation Program as the Department plans
enhancements to this medical bill payment system.
