Proposed Project: Uncompensated Services Assurance Report (OMB No.
0915-0077)--Revision
Under the Hill-Burton Act, the Government provides grants and loans
for construction or renovation of health care facilities. As a
condition of receiving this construction assistance, facilities are
required to provide services to persons unable to pay. A condition of
receiving this assistance requires facilities to provide assurances
periodically that the required level of uncompensated care is being
provided, and that certain notification and record keeping procedures
are being followed. These requirements are referred to as the
uncompensated services assurance.
