Title: HEALTH INSURANCE COMMON CLAIMS FORM AND INSTRUCTIONS
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/26/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/30/1991
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 6/93 under the following conditions: HCFA provides an analysis of the cost of revising the form to display OMB numbers for HCFA, Labor and Defense for immediate use. If the cost analysis demonstrates extreme hardship for HCFA and the regulated industry the next HCFA-1500 submission will: 1) Incorporate OMB Nos. for the Department of Labor and the Department of Defense. These OMB Nos. will be displayed in the top right hand corner of the Form, below the HCFA OMB Control No.; and 2) Amend the burden disclosure statement on the back of the Form so that it only states the average burden per response for all agencie and directs public comments to an agency address contained in agency- specific instructions. Most important, the primary purpose of the standard HCFA-1500 is to reduce administrative burden on providers, suppliers, et.al.. It may become apparent in implementation, however, that the costs of standardizing the systems of States, contractors, and private insurers may exceed these provider administrative savings. OMB encourages participating agencies to closely monitor implementation of the Form and public comment over the next year and to critically reevaluate the cost effectiveness of this standardization approach prior to resubmission for OMB review.
