SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Diagnosis Related Groups 
(DRG) Reimbursement Two Parts; OMB Control Number 0720-0017.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection is in conjunction with 
a notice of proposed collection. The Department of Defense 
Authorization Act, 1984, P.L. 98-94 amended Title 10, section 
1079(j)(2)(A) of the U.S.C. and provided the Civilian Health and 
Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) with the statutory 
authority to reimburse institutional providers based on diagnosis-
related groups (DRGs). The TRICARE/CHAMPUS DRG-based payment system is 
modeled on the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) and was 
implemented on October 1, 1987. The TRICARE/CHAMPUS DRG-based payments 
apply only to hospital's operating costs and do not include any amounts 
for hospitals' capital or direct medical education costs. Any hospital 
subject to the DRG-based payment system, except for children's 
hospitals (whose capital and direct medical education costs are 
incorporated in the children's hospital differential), who want to be 
reimbursed for allowed capital and direct medical education costs must 
submit a request for payment to the TRICARE/CHAMPUS contractor. The 
request allows TRICARE to collect the information necessary to properly 
reimburse hospitals for its share of these costs.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 5,600.
    Number of Respondents: 5,600.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 5,600.
    Average Burden per Response: 1 hr.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents to the DRG reimbursement request are medical providers 
at in-patient hospitals and acute care hospitals. Hospitals subject to 
the TRICARE DRG-based payment system who wish to be reimbursed for 
Allowed Capital and Direct Medical Education costs (as outlined in the 
TRICARE Reimbursement Manual) must submit a request for reimbursement 
to the appropriate TRICARE/CHAMPUS authorized contractors of Managed 
Care Support Contracts. The TRICARE contractors are Humana and 
HealthNet; hospitals submit their requests to either of these 
contractors, dependent upon their region.
