Abstract: Section 101 of the VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks (MISSION) Act of 2018 requires VA to implement the Veterans Community Care Program (VCCP) to furnish care in the community to covered Veterans through eligible entities and providers, under circumstances as further prescribed in the MISSION Act. VA currently collects information that will be required to implement the Veterans Community Care Program under the Veterans Choice Program, through an OMB approved collection 2900-0823. OMB collection 2900-0823 includes VA Form 10-10143, Election to Receive Authorized Non-VA Care and Selection of Provider for the Veterans Choice Program; VA Form 10-10143a, Health-Care Plan Information for the Veterans Choice Program; VA Form 10-10143b, Submission of Medical Record Information under the Veterans Choice Program; VA Form 10-10143c, Submission of Information on Credentials and Licenses by Eligible Entities and Providers; VA Form 10-10143e, Secondary Authorization Request for VA Community Care; VA Form 10-10143f, Community Care Document Cover Sheet; and VA Form 10-10143g, Non-VA Hospital Emergency Notification. Recently, in April and May 2020, OMB approved emergency PRA clearances for the two new forms added to this collection -- 10-10143f and 10-10143g -- due to their relevance to the COVID-19 national health emergency response. This submission is for a renewal of the PRA clearance for the entire collection under 2900-0823, which is necessary to provide continuous health care to Veterans under the VA Community Care Program.
