DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

 

Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the 
following proposal for collection of information under the provisions 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Title, Applicable Form, and OMB Control Number: Home Health Care 
Demonstration, Inpatient Costs vs. Home Health Care Costs; DD Form 
2534; OMB Control Number 0704-0265.
Type of Request: Revision.
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Responses Per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 6,000.
Average Burden Per Response: 30 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 3,000
Needs and Uses: Congress mandated (FY 1988 DoD Appropriations Act, 
Section 8071) that CHAMPUS continue the Home Health Care (HHC) 
Demonstration. The purpose of this demonstration is to provide 
beneficiaries with an alternative to hospitalization and to identify 
the most cost-effective means for health care coverage to be provided 
by the government. The collection instrument requests specific data on 
impatient costs versus home health care costs. This data is used by 
Home Health Care Managers in determining which is more cost-effective. 
The Act also authorized an expansion of the Home Health Care 
Demonstration that permits OCHAMPUS to broaden the criteria for 
accepting patients, and to include all CHAMPUS beneficiaries--military 
retirees and their family members, as well as active duty family 
members. The Home Health Care--Case Management Demonstration represents 
that expansion. Data collected under the demonstration will assist in 
developing a coordinated plan of care that meets patients' needs at 
less cost to the government.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, Businesses or other for-
profit.
Frequency: On occasion and Semiannually.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Shannah Koss. Written comments and 
recommendations on the proposed information collection should be sent 
to Ms. Koss at the Office of Management and Budget, Desk Officer for 
DoD, Room 10235, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. William Pearce. Written requests for copies 
of the information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Pearce, 
WHS/DIOR, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington, VA 
22202-4302.

    Dated: October 11, 1994.
