0720–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: This collection of 

information was developed by a TriService committee intent on providing 

an efficient, accessible, and common 

format for applicants to apply for HPSP 

Scholarships. It serves to consolidate 

the initial demographic and educational 

information previously being collected 

separately by all Services. As such it 

continues to satisfy the requirement of 

the DoD Issuance 6000.13; Medical 

Manpower and Personnel. This form is 

not intended to replace additional 

Service-specific information required, 

rather, it serves to support the DoD, 

Army, Navy, Air Force, and MHS 

missions. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 622 hrs. 

Number of Respondents: 1,244. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: .50 (30 

minutes).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The Health Professions Scholarship 

Program (HPSP) offers prospective 

military physicians, dentists, nurse 

practitioners, optometrists, 

psychologists, and veterinarians a paid 

medical education in exchange for 

service as a commissioned medical 

department officer. Programs are 

available in the United States Army, the 

United States Navy, and the United 

States Air Force (AFHPSP). 

Created under authority of the 

Uniformed Services Health Professions 

Revitalization Act of 1972, the HPSP is 

the primary source of trained healthcare 

professionals entering the United States 

Armed Forces. Subject to eligibility for 

a commission (such as U.S. citizenship, 

physical and academic qualifications, 

etc.), scholarship ‘‘selectees’’ are 

commissioned as second lieutenants in 

the U.S. Army Reserve or the U.S. Air 

Force Reserve, or ensigns in the U.S. 

Navy Reserve. The selectees are then 

placed on inactive reserve status during 

their medical training. 

Prospective students compete for 

scholarships that cover some or all of 

the medical school years. The Air Force 

offers three- and four-year scholarships, 

and the Army offers one- to four-year 

scholarships. While on scholarship, the 

financial expenses of tuition, fees, a 

monthly stipend, and mandatory books 

and equipment are paid by the student’s 

sponsoring service. 

As inactive reserve officers, the 

students are required to serve 45 days of 

active duty for training (ADT) each 

fiscal year. While on active duty, they 

receive the same rights, privileges, and 

pay, and are subject to the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice, as any other 

active-duty officer. For the first two 

years of training, this duty is sometimes 

spent attending an officer basic course/ 

school (Army, Navy, Air Force) or 

executing ‘‘School Orders’’ 

(participating in clinical training) at the 

student’s university. For the 3rd and 4th 

years, the student will often carry out 

elective clinical rotations at a military 

hospital. 

Upon graduation, the student is 

promoted to the rank of captain in the 

Army and Air Force, or lieutenant in the 

Navy, and is placed on active duty for 

residency in a military or civilian 

hospital. In general, Army and Air Force 

medical residents are allowed to 

complete their residencies before 

proceeding to their first assignments, 

while Navy personnel complete an 

internship and then serve as a general 

medical officer (GMO), with the option 

of completing a residency following 

their GMO tour. 

The incurred service obligation is 

generally one-for-one for every servicepaid year of schooling, with a minimum 

of two years for physicians and three 

years for other specialties. Additional 

time required for certain postgraduate 

programs, such as lengthy residencies, 

can result in longer service obligations. 

Fulfillment of the obligation begins only 

after postgraduate training is completed. 

For Navy officers, time spent as a GMO 

is credited towards the service 

obligation. 

This collection will consolidate and 

standardize requirements across the 

Services for the collection and reporting 

of needed information as it pertains to 

the enrollee.

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Active Duty Dental Program 

Claim Form; OMB Control Number 

0720–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirement is necessary to 

obtain and record the dental readiness 

of Service Members using the Active 

Duty Dental Program and at the same 

time submit the claim for the dental 

procedures provided so that claims can 

be processed and reimbursement made 

to the provider. Many of these Service 

Members are not located near a military 

dental treatment facility and receive 

their dental care in the private sector. 

The new form is needed to update the 

dental readiness of all Service Members 

so that they can maintain worldwide 

deployment status and reduces 

paperwork by combining the dental 

claim and dental readiness into one 

form. 

Affected Public: Private Sector 

Dentists participating in the Active Duty 

Dental Program. 

Annual Burden Hours: 737,500. 

Number of Respondents: 59,000 

(ADDP network is 59,000 dentists). 

Responses per Respondent: 1–500. 

Average Burden per Response: 3 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

Respondents are dental professionals 

who are participating providers in the 

Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP). 

The ADDP Claim form allows civilian 

dental providers to submit the claim for 

dental procedures provided to active 

duty service members and to update 

their dental readiness classification at 

the same time. The completed form is 

forwarded to the ADDP contractor, 

United Concordia Companies, Inc. for 

reimbursement and the electronic 

update of the dental readiness. If the 

form is not available, civilian providers 

will not have a mechanism to update 

dental readiness for this dental program. 

Dental readiness classification allows 

the Services to ensure that all Service 

Members are ready for worldwide 

deployment. Dental readiness is an 

integral part of medical readiness, and 

medical readiness is fundamental to the 

readiness of our forces.
