Extension of
UB-92 approved for use through 12/2002 under the condition that the
next submission for OMB review: 1) reflects implementation of HIPAA
and the burden estimate is adjusted accordingly. In addition, no
later than 8/2002, CMS must submit to OMB a correction worksheet
reflecting the requested burden reduction and a detailed
explanation of the data and assumptions behind this new estimate;
2) includes a description of the CMS work group's progress in
resolving emergency room billing issues. Resolution of these issues
may necessitate changes to the collection/use of type of admission
and admission diagnosis codes on the UB-92. (OMB also references
this condition in its recent clearance of the Medicare ABN, OMB #
0938-0566); and 3) includes a current copy of the UB-92, the
supporting manual instructions, and the National Standard Format
(electronic format).
