Abstract: This information collection will assist the Department of Defense (DoD) in determining the eligibility of an individual for the Military Health System Financial Assistance Program/ Waiver Program (MHS FAP). DoD will apply a sliding scale or catastrophic waiver discount to medical bills for eligible civilian patients who are not entitled beneficiaries of DoD’s Military Health System, but who receive healthcare at DoD military medical treatment facilities (MTFs), in order to prevent serious financial harm to the patient.
