Short Statement: The previous estimate submitted by this office made an invalid assumption that a VA Form 10-7959a was required for every medical claim that is created in the facility. A more correct estimate would be that only 15% of all claims require a VA Form 10-7959a, since this form is ONLY used by a taxpayer requesting repayment for out of pocket costs. The majority of claims are received directly from the doctor, pharmacy, or hospital, and not from the taxpayer. Thus, this is considered a routine business practice and these agencies are not required to use this form. VA Form 10-7959d usage figure has been reduced to the figure stated, based on the current conditions within the HAC’s department that process these. They are anticipating increasing the workforce to process more of these in the future.
