This information
collection is approved for use through September 30, 1992. Upon its
next submission, HHS/CDC shall report on the information/data
provided by applicants for reimbursement during the last two years.
This shall include all seven of the "Program Requirement"
questions. CDC shall not draw conclusions that go beyond the scope
of the data collected. CDC cannot draw any conclusions (and
therefore base policy changes) about the quality of follow-up care
to HIV patients compared to non-HIV patients. More specifically,
without any look-back at how individual cases were handled,
Questions 4 and 5 do not allow conclusions to be drawn about
whether providers are providing less follow-up care to HIV patients
or engaging in any other potentially discriminatory action. In
short, this data collection is approved with CDC's agreement that
the information collected will only be used to make decisions on
the appropriateness of reimbursement under this program.
