A regulatory change to the EEOICPA Final Rule was published on February 8, 2019, and went into effect April 9, 2019. This change made OMB forms EE-17A and EE-17B required for initiating initial (claimant has never received services through EEOICPA) authorization requests for home health care, hospice, assisted living, and nursing home care. Upon implementation of the forms on June 3, 2019, medical providers will no longer submit authorization request forms to Conduent to initiate care for the aforementioned service types when the claimant requests care for the first time. However, the authorization details (approved, denied, or pending) concerning these requests will continue to be processed and transmitted to Conduent. All emergency temporary authorization requests, or requests for reauthorization, or requests for an amended level of care will continue to be submitted to Conduent using the existing processes.
