This standardized form is used in the Medicare/Medicaid program to apply for reimbursement of covered services by all providers that accept Medicare/Medicaid assigned claims and that do not bill Medicare and Medicaid electronically.
This is not a program change. This change corrects an error in the original submission. The total requested burden in the Supporting Statement is correct, 1,786,799 hours. However, when the collection was first submitted, the total requested burden was listed incorrectly on the 83-I form. The number listed, 308,237 hours, is only part of the burden. The actual burden should be 1,786,036 hours. The 1,477,799 hour difference is attributed to the burden associated with EMC billing, as stated in the supporting statement.
