Approved for use
through 12/90. OMB recommends that the final report based upon this
employer questionaire carefully assesses the employer burden
imposed by this approach versus the savings realized through
increased primary payer collections. OMB also recommends that the
report describes the limitations of this collection method. For
example, this questionaire does not address health benefits
received through retirement benefit plans. Also, because response
to this questionaire is voluntary, the OIG may want to describe the
characteristics of the non response population and its potential
biases.
