DoD collects MHS patient data
The Department of Defense is asking OMB to continue collecting information from 3,000,000 users of the Military Health System (MHS) patient registration module and patient portal. The data will be used to provide and document medical care; determine eligibility for benefits and entitlements; adjudicate claims; determine whether a third party is responsible for the cost of care and recover that cost; and evaluate fitness for duty and medical concerns from occupational or environmental hazards.
Time burden to respond: 7 minutes
Each respondent to the MHS patient registration and portal data collection is estimated to spend about 7 minutes completing the information. The notice reports 3,000,000 annual responses and a total annual burden of 351,000 hours.
Participation is voluntary
The notice states that responding to the information collection is voluntary. You are not required by the notice to provide the information, though the DoD says the information is needed to provide care and determine benefits and claims.
