In accordance with CIPSEA, every NCHS employee, contractor, and agent has taken an oath and is subject to a jail term of up to five years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both if he or she willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you.

Approximately 408 hospitals will be asked to transmit all inpatient and ambulatory UB-04 claims data on a monthly basis. We expect that hospital staff will take an average of 1 hour to prepare and transmit the data files. This equals 4,896 annualized hours over three years.
