Instructions for completing OWCP-04 Uniform Billing 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 occupational illnesses defined under that Act. Benefits provided under these statutes include
Inpatient/outpatient hospital services, ambulatory surgical care, chemotherapy treatment services, and other non-professional medical services for covered injuries
or occupational illnesses. Services provided by skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes and hospices (including medications and other services such as oxygen and
respiratory services), as well as personal care services provided by a home health aide, licensed practical nurse or similarly trained individual, may also be provided.
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 condition-specific fee schedule based on the Prospective
Payment System devised by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) 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),
Revenue Center codes and Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) codes; therefore, use of correct codes and modifier(s) is required. Incorrect coding will result in
inappropriate or delayed 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.
ITEMIZED BILLS AND TREATMENT PLANS: All forms submitted for inpatient hospital services must be accompanied by an itemized billing statement and an
admission/discharge summary. Forms submitted for hospice services or for personal care services provided in the home must be accompanied by a plan of care
and treatment.
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 submission of a bill with this form 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 submission of a bill with this form 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,
BLBA or EEOICPA regulations. Finally, your submission of a bill with this form indicates that you understand that any false claims, statements or documents, or
concealment of a material fact, may be prosecuted under applicable Federal or State laws.
NOTICE TO PATIENT ABOUT THE COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
(PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT)
OWCP is authorized by 5 USC 8101 et seq., 30 USC 901 et seq., and 42 USC 7384d to collect information needed to administer the FECA, BLBA and EEOICPA.
The information collected is used to identify the eligibility of the claimant for benefits, and to determine coverage of services provided. There are no penalties for
failure to supply information; however, failure to furnish information regarding the medical service(s) received or the amount charged will prevent payment of the
claim. Failure to supply the claim number or required codes will delay payment or may result in rejection of the bill 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 Department of Labor systems DOL/GOVT -1, DOL/E SA-5, DOL/ESA-6,
DOL/ESA-29, DOL/ESA-30, DOL/ESA-43, DOL/ESA-44, DOL/ESA-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.
