SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–21.

Title: Expanded Access to Non-VA
Care through the MISSION Program:
Veterans Community Care Program
(VCCP) (VA Forms 10–10143, 10–
10143a, 10–10143b, 10–10143c and 10–
10143e)

Type of Review: Non-substantive
change to a currently approved

Abstract: Section 101 of the VA
Maintaining Internal Systems and

requires VA to implement the Veterans
Community Care Program (VCCP) to
furnish care in the community to
covered Veterans through eligible
entities and providers, under
circumstances as further prescribed in
the MISSION Act. VA currently collects
information that will be required to
implement the Veterans Community
Care Program under the Veterans Choice
Program, through an OMB approved
collection 2900–0823. OMB Collection
2900–0823 includes VA Form 10–
10143, Election to Receive Authorized
Non-VA Care and Selection of Provider
for the Veterans Choice Program; VA
Form 10–10143a, Health-Care Plan
Information for the Veterans Choice

VA seeks to update OMB collection
2900–0823 to implement the Veterans
Community Care Program by updating
the title of VA forms and any associated
statutory citations to be consistent with
the new program and the MISSION Act,
and by updating burden hours to
account for estimated increased use of
community care under the new
program.
This collection of information is
required to properly adjudicate and
implement the requirements of the
MISSION Act.
a. VA Form 10–10143 will collect
Veteran information on whether covered

Veterans would elect to receive
authorized care under the VCCP if
certain conditions are met, as required
by 38 U.S.C. 1703(d)(3). This form also
will allow a covered Veteran to specify
a particular non-VA entity or provider.
b. VA Form 10–10143a will collect
other health insurance information from
covered Veterans who elect to
participate in the VCCP, as required by
38 U.S.C. 1705A. This information also
is required by 38 U.S.C. 1703(j), which
requires VA to recover or collect
reasonable charges for community care
that is furnished from a health care plan
contract described in 38 U.S.C. 1729.
c. VA Form 10–10143b will collect
health records of covered Veterans from
non-VA health care entities and
providers for care authorized under the
VCCP, as required by 38 U.S.C.
1703(a)(2)(A), which requires VA to
establish a mechanism to receive
medical records from non-VA providers.
A copy of all medical and dental records
(including but not limited to images,
test results, and notes or other records
of what care was provided and why)
related to a Veteran’s care provided
under the VCCP must be submitted to
VA, including any claims for payment
for the furnishing of such care.
d. VA Form 10–10143c will collect
information from non-VA entities and
providers concerning relevant
credentials and licenses as required for
such entities or providers to furnish care
and services generally. This information
is authorized by section 133 of the
MISSION Act, which requires VA to
establish competency standards for nonVA providers, as well as 38 U.S.C.
1703C(a)(1), which requires VA to
establish certain standards of quality for
furnishing care and services (including
through non-VA providers).
e. VA Form 10–10143e will collect
secondary authorization requests from
non-VA entities and providers to
furnish care and services in addition to
or supporting the original authorization
for care. This information is required by
38 U.S.C. 1703(a)(3), which establishes
that a covered Veteran may only receive
care or services under the VCCP upon
VA’s authorization of such care or
services.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 84 FR
35181 on July 22, 2019, pages 35181 and
35182.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0846.

Abstract: The authorizing statute for
this data collection falls under 31 U.S.C.
3701 and Public Law 104–134, Section
31001, Debt Collection Improvement
Act of 1996. The mission of the
Nationwide Vendor File Division of the
Department of Veterans Affairs—

to add, modify, or delete vendor records
in the Financial Management Services

vendor file controls aspects of when,
where, and how vendors are paid. There
are currently more than 2.4 million

multiple sources into a single form. The
VA now seeks a routine three-year
extension of the previous OMB PRA
clearance for this form. VA Form 10091
will be used throughout the VA to
gather essential payment data from
vendors (commercial, individuals,
Veterans, employees, etc.) to establish or
update vendor records in order to
process electronic payments through the
ACH network to the vendor’s financial
institution.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 37,500
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once
annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
150,000.
