Instructions for Completing OWCP-1500 Health Insurance Claim Form For Medical Services Provided Under the FEDERAL EMPLOYEES’
COMPENSATION ACT (FECA), the BLACK LUNG BENEFITS ACT (BLBA), and the ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS
COMPENSATION PROGRAM ACT of 2000 (EEOICPA)
GENERAL INFORMATION—FECA AND EEOICPA CLAIMANTS: Claims filed under FECA (5 USC 8101 et seq.) are for employment-related illness or
injury. Claims filed under EEOICPA (42 USC 7384 et seq.) are for compensable illnesses defined under that Act. All services, appliances, and supplies
prescribed or recommended by a qualified physician, which the Secretary of Labor considers likely to give relief, reduce the degree or period of the
disability or illness, or aid in lessening the amount of the monthly compensation, may be furnished. “Physician” includes all Doctors of Medicine (M.D.),
podiatrists, dentists, clinical psychologists, optometrists, chiropractors, or osteopathic practitioners within the scope of their practice as defined by State
law. However, the term “physician” includes chiropractors only to the extent that their reimbursable services are limited to treatment consisting of
manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation as demonstrated by x-ray to exist.
FEES: The Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) is responsible for payment of all reasonable charges stemming
from covered medical services provided to claimants eligible under FECA and EEOICPA. OWCP uses a relative value scale fee schedule and other
tests to determine reasonableness. Schedule limitations are applied through an automated billing system that is based on the identification of
procedures as defined in the AMA’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT); correct CPT code and modifier(s) is required. Incorrect coding will result in
inappropriate payment. For specific information about schedule limits, call the Dept. of Labor’s Federal Employees’ Compensation office or Energy
Employees Occupational Illness Compensation office that services your area.
REPORTS: A medical report that indicates the dates of treatment, diagnosis(es), findings, and type of treatment offered is required for services
provided by a physician (as defined above). For FECA claimants, the initial medical report should explain the relationship of the injury or illness to the
employment. Test results and x-ray findings should accompany billings.
GENERAL INFORMATION—BLBA CLAIMANTS: The BLBA (30 USC 901 et seq.) provides medical services to eligible beneficiaries for diagnostic
and therapeutic services for black lung disease as defined under the BLBA. For specific information about reimbursable services, call the Department of
Labor’s Black Lung office that services your facility or call the National Office in Washington, D.C.
SIGNATURE OF PHYSICIAN OR SUPPLIER: Your signature in Item 31 indicates your agreement to accept the charge determination of OWCP on
covered services as payment in full, and indicates your agreement not to seek reimbursement from the patient of any amounts not paid by OWCP for
covered services as the result of the application of its fee schedule or related tests for reasonableness (appeals are allowed). Your signature in Item 31
also indicates that the services shown on this form were medically indicated and necessary for the health of the patient and were personally furnished by
you or were furnished incident to your professional services by your employee under your immediate personal supervision, except as otherwise
expressly permitted by FECA, Black Lung or EEOICPA regulations. For services to be considered as “incident” to a physician’s professional service, 1)
they must be rendered under the physician’s immediate personal supervision by his/her employee, 2) they must be an integral, although incidental, part
of a covered physician’s service, 3) they must be of kinds commonly furnished in physician’s offices, and 4) the services of non-physicians must be
included on the bills. Finally, your signature indicates that you understand that any false claims, statements or documents, or concealment of a material
fact, may be prosecuted under applicable Federal or State laws.
For Black Lung claims, by signing your name in Item 31, you further certify that the services performed were for a Black Lung-related disorder.
NOTICE TO PATIENT ABOUT THE COLLECTION AND USE OF FECA, BLACK LUNG AND EEOICPA INFORMATION
(PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT)
The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a) authorizes OWCP to ask you for information needed in the administration of the FECA, Black
Lung and EEOICPA programs. Authority to collect information is in 5 USC 8101 et seq.; 30 USC 901 et seq.; 38 USC 613; E.O. 9397; and 42 USC
7384d, 20 CFR 30.11 and E.O. 13179. The information we obtain to complete claims under these programs is used to identify you and to determine
your eligibility. It is also used to decide if the services and supplies you received are covered by these programs and to insure that proper payment is
made. There are no penalties for failure to supply information; however, failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) received or the
amount charged will prevent payment of the claim. Failure to supply the claim number or CPT codes will delay payment or may result in rejection of the
claim because of incomplete information.
We are authorized to request a taxpayer identification number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of
1996, 31 U.S.C. 7701(c)(1), which mandates us to require regulated entities and persons who are doing business with a Federal agency to furnish a TIN
or SSN. The SSN or TIN, and other information maintained by us may be used for identification, to support debt collection efforts carried on by the
Federal government, and for other purposes required or authorized by law. The information may also be given to other providers of services, carriers,
intermediaries, medical review boards, health plans, and other organizations or Federal agencies, for the effective administration of Federal provisions
that require other third party payers to pay primary to Federal programs, and as otherwise necessary to administer these programs. For example, it may
be necessary to disclose information about the benefits you have used to a hospital or doctor. Additional disclosures are made through routine uses for
information contained in systems of records. See Department of Labor systems DOL/GOVT-1, DOL/ESA-6 and DOL/ESA-49 published in the Federal
Register, Vol. 67, page 16816, Mon. April 8, 2002, or as updated and republished.
You should be aware that P.L. 100-503, the “Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988,” permits the government to verify information by
way of computer matches.

Public Burden Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1215-0055. There are no
penalties for failure to supply information; however, failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged will
prevent payment of the claim. We estimate that it will take an average of seven minutes to complete this collection of information, including time for
reviewing instructions, abstracting information from the patient’s records and entering the data onto the form. This time is based on familiarity with
standardized coding structures and prior use of this common form. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection
of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, Department of Labor, Room S3522,
200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210. DO NOT SEND THE COMPLETED FORM TO THIS OFFICE.
