Next Steps

If you plan to submit additional documents, you must submit the additional documents within 60 calendar days from the date of this letter. A form response (optional) has been included for your convenience. The response and any additional records can be returned via the CICP’s electronic portal at injurycompensation.hrsa.gov (preferred). If unable to submit electronically, please send this form to the CICP at the address below:

Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program

5600 Fishers Lane, 8W-25A

Rockville, MD 20857

While not required, you may submit additional medical documentation that you believe will support your Request Package. This may include additional medical documentation or scientific evidence in order to establish that an injury was caused by a covered countermeasure.¹ Letters from treating physicians may be submitted as additional evidence but may not substitute for the required medical documentation. 42 C.F.R. §110.50(b).

If the CICP does not receive additional documents from you within 60 calendar days from the date of this letter, does not receive a response from you, or receives a response that you do not plan to submit any additional documentation, the CICP will proceed with its review of your claim and make an eligibility determination based on the documentation it has at that time.

Please note that if the CICP makes an eligibility determination with which you disagree and you request a reconsideration of the determination by an independent panel, the panel cannot review any new documentation that was not previously submitted to the Program. 42 C.F.R. §110.90(a).

If you have questions, please call 1-855-266-2427, email the CICP at [email protected], or send them to the address above.

Sincerely,

CDR George Reed Grimes, MD, MPH

Director, Division of Injury Compensation Programs
