Extension of UB-92 approved for use through 12/2002 under the condition that the next submission for OMB review: 1) reflects implementation of HIPAA and the burden estimate is adjusted accordingly. In addition, no later than 8/2002, CMS must submit to OMB a correction worksheet reflecting the requested burden reduction and a detailed explanation of the data and assumptions behind this new estimate; 2) includes a description of the CMS work group's progress in resolving emergency room billing issues. Resolution of these issues may necessitate changes to the collection/use of type of admission and admission diagnosis codes on the UB-92.
