Titles:
1. SURVEY OF HEALTHCARE
EXPERIENCES DENTAL PATIENT
SATISFACTION SURVEY.
2. OMB Control Number: 2900–0764.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstracts: The mission of the
Veterans Health Administration (VHA)
is to provide high quality medical and
dental care to eligible veterans.
Executive Order 12862, dated
September 11, 1993, calls for the
establishment and implementation of
customer service standards, and for
agencies to ‘‘survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with current services’’. At
present, VA does not specifically
evaluate patient satisfaction for over
400,000 veterans receiving dental
services each year.
The Dental Patient satisfaction survey
is comprised primarily of questions
taken from two validated and
extensively tested surveys. The first
survey is the VA Nation-wide Customer
Satisfaction Survey: Survey of Health
Experience of Patients (SHEP); this has
OMB approval under clearance number
2900–0712. The second survey, Dental
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Provider and Systems (DCAHPS), was
developed by the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ). The
psychometric properties of this survey
are well documented and the survey has
been used extensively in measuring
patient satisfaction for TRICARE dental
services.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.

is needed to carry out the health care
benefits allowed by the Foreign Medical
Program (FMP). It is a federal health
benefits program for Veterans
administered by the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health
Administration (VHA). FMP is a Fee for
Service (indemnity plan) program. FMP
provides reimbursement for VA
adjudicated service-connected

that the VA will provide coverage for
the Veteran’s service-connected
disability when the Veteran is residing
or traveling overseas.
VA Form 10–7959f–1, Foreign
Medical Program (FMP) Registration
Form, is used to register into the Foreign
Medical Program those Veterans with
service-connected disabilities that are
living or traveling overseas. Title 38
CFR 17.125(d) states that requests for
consideration of claim reimbursement
from approved health care providers
and Veterans are to be mailed to VHA
Health Administration Center (HAC).
The VA Form 10–7959f–2, Claim Cover
Sheet—Foreign Medical Program
streamlines the claims submission
process for claimants or physicians
while also reducing the time spent by

basic information required for the
processing and payment of claims.
