Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Many of the data fields on the Form OWCP-92 are generated in electronic billing systems already used by hospitals and other institutional medical providers for patient billing, inventories, and bookkeeping. As a result, this reduces the burden hours for any one use of the form. In addition, institutional providers are reducing their use of the form for billing purposes and are moving to other billing formats. For these reasons, OMB Form 83-I shows a net adjustment decrease of -23,440 hours.
