DOD is required to collect from third
party payers the cost of medical care provided to retirees,
dependents and others utilizing the services of Military Treatment
Facilities (MTFs) who have private health insurance. The funds
collected will be used to enhance the services provided in the MTF
that provided the original care. This form is designed to solicit
information from the beneficiaries concerning their health
insurance coverage.
Average burden per response has
been increased by 1 minute as adding new question #7 to identify
Veterans Affairs (VA) patients will slightly increase the time
spent filling out the DD Form 2569.
