Instructions for Completing OWCP-1500 Health Insurance Claim Form For Medical Services Provided Under the FEDERAL EMPLOYEES'
COMPENSATION ACT (FECA), the BLACK LUNG BENEFITS ACT {BLBA), and the ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS
COMPENSATION PROGRAM ACT of 2000 (EEOICPA)
GENERAL INFORMATION-FECA AND EEOICPA CLAIMANTS: Claims filed under FECA (5 USC 8101 et seq.) are for employment-related illness or
injury. Claims filed under EEOICPA (42 USC 7384 et seq.) are for compensable illnesses defined under that Act. All services, appliances, and supplies
prescribed or recommended by a qualified physician, which the Secretary of Labor considers likely to give relief, reduce the degree or period of the disability
or illness, or aid in lessening the amount of the monthly compensation, may be furnished. "Physician" includes all Doctors of Medicine (M.D.), podiatrists,
dentists, clinical psychologists, optometrists, chiropractors, or osteopathic practitioners within the scope of their practice as defined by State law. However,
the term "physician" includes chiropractors only to the extent that their reimbursable services are limited to treatment consisting of manual manipulation of the
spine to correct a subluxation as demonstrated by x-ray to exist.
FEES: The Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) is responsible for payment of all reasonable charges stemming from
covered medical services provided to claimants eligible under FECA and EEOICPA. OWCP uses a relative value scale fee schedule and other tests to
determine reasonableness. Schedule limitations are applied through an automated billing system that is based on the identification of procedures as defined
in the AMA's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT); correct CPT code and modifier(s) is required. Incorrect coding will result in inappropriate payment. For
specific information about schedule limits, call the Dept. of Labor's Federal Employees' Compensation office or Energy Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation office that services your area.
REPORTS: A medical report that indicates the dates of treatment, diagnosis(es), findings, and type of treatment offered is required for services provided by a
physician (as defined above). For FECA claimants, the initial medical report should explain the relationship of the injury or illness to the employment. Test
results and x-ray findings should accompany billings.
GENERAL INFORMATION-BLBA CLAIMANTS: The BLBA (30 USC 901 et seq.) provides medical services to eligible beneficiaries for diagnostic and
therapeutic services for black lung disease as defined under the BLBA. For specific information about reimbursable services, call the Department of Labor's
Black Lung office that services your facility or call the National Office in Washington, D.C.
SIGNATURE OF PHYSICIAN OR SUPPLIER: Your signature in Item 31 indicates your agreement to accept the charge determination of OWCP on covered
services as payment in full, and indicates your agreement not to seek reimbursement from the patient of any amounts not paid by OWCP for covered
services as the result of the application of its fee schedule or related tests for reasonableness (appeals are allowed). Your signature in Item 31 also indicates
that the services shown on this form were medically indicated and necessary for the health of the patient and were personally furnished by you or were
furnished incident to your professional services by your employee under your immediate personal supervision, except as otherwise expressly permitted by
FECA, Black Lung or EEOICPA regulations. For services to be considered as "incident" to a physician's professional service, 1) they must be rendered under
the physician's immediate personal supervision by his/her employee, 2) they must be an integral, although incidental, part of a covered physician's service, 3)
they must be of kinds commonly furnished in physician's offices, and 4) the services of non-physicians must be included on the bills. Finally, your signature
indicates that you understand that any false claims, statements or documents, or concealment of a material act, may be prosecuted under applicable Federal
or State laws.
NOTICE TO PATIENT ABOUT THE COLLECTION AND USE OF FECA, BLACK LUNG AND EEOICPA INFORMATION
(PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT)
We are authorized by OWCP to ask you for information needed in the administration of the FECA, Black Lung and EEO ICPA programs. Authority to collect
information is in 5 USC 8101 et seq.; 30 USC 901 et seq.; 38 USC 613; E.O. 9397; and 42 USC 7384d, 20 CFR 30.11 and E.O. 13179. The information we
obtain to complete claims under these programs is used to identify you and to determine your eligibility. It is also used to decide if the services and supplies
you received are covered by these programs and to insure that proper payment is made. Your response regarding the medical service(s) received or the
amount charged is required to receive payment for the claim. See 20 CFR §§ 10.801, 30.701, 725.406, 725.701, and 725.704. Failure to supply the claim
number or CPT codes will delay payment or may result in rejection of the claim because of incomplete information. The information may also be given to
other providers of services, carriers, intermediaries, medical review boards, health plans, and other organizations or Federal agencies, for the effective
administration of Federal provisions that require other third party payers to pay primary to Federal programs, and as otherwise necessary to administer these
programs. For example, it may be necessary to disclose information about the benefits you have used to a hospital or doctor. Additional disclosures are made
through routine uses for information contained in systems of records. See Department of Labor systems DOUGOVT-1, DOUESA-5, DOL/ESA-6, DOU
ESA-29, DOL/ESA-30, DOL/ESA-43, DOL/ESA-44, DOUESA-49 and DOL/ESA-50 published in the Federal Register, Vol. 67, page 16816, Mon. April 8,
2002, or as updated and republished.
You should be aware that P .L. 100-503, the "Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988," permits the government to verify information by way of
computer matches.

Public Burden Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid 0MB control number. The valid 0MB control number for this information collection is 1240-0044. We estimate that it will
take an average of seven minutes to complete this collection of information, including time for reviewing instructions, abstracting information from the patient's
records and entering the data onto the form. This time is based on familiarity with standardized coding structures and prior use of this common form. Send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Office of
Workers' Compensation Programs, Department of Labor, Room S3522, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210; and to the Office of
Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1240-0044), Washington, DC 20503. DO NOT SEND THE COMPLETED FORM TO EITHER OF
THESE OFFICES.

NOTICE
If you have a substantially limiting physical or mental impairment, Federal disability nondiscrimination law gives you the right to receive help from OWCP in
the form of communication assistance, accommodation and modification to aid you in the claims process. For example, we will provide you with copies of
documents in alternate formats, communication services such as sign language interpretation, or other kinds of adjustments or changes to account for the
limitations of your disability. Please contact our office or your claims examiner to ask about this assistance.
