SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Camp Lejeune Family Member Program-Reimbursement of Certain Medical Expenses (VA Forms 10-10068, 10-10068a, 10-10068b and 10-10068c).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0822. https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch .
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 1787, VA is required to furnish hospital care and medical services to the family members of certain veterans who were stationed at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and have specified medical conditions. The specific hospital care and medical services that VA must provide are for a number of illnesses and conditions connected to exposure to contaminated drinking water while at Camp Lejeune. In order to furnish such care, VA must collect necessary information from the family members to ensure that they meet the requirements of the law.
The forms in this collection are VA Form 10-10068-Application, VA Form 10-10068a-Claim Form, VA Form 10-10068b-Treating Physician Report, and VA Form 10-10068c-Information Update Form. These forms will be used to determine eligibility and reimbursement for the covered medical care. Some minor changes to the wording in VA Form 10-10068b have been made to clarify the information being collected from the treating physician. Also, VA Form 10-10068b may now be used twice annually per patient rather than once annually. There is an associated increase in the estimated burden hours for the collection.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
