the TPCP, DoD is authorized to collect from third-party payers the cost 
of inpatient and outpatient services rendered to DoD beneficiaries who 
have other health insurance. Military treatment facilities are required 
to make this form available to third-party payers upon request. A 
third-party payer may not request any other assignment of benefits form 
from the subscriber.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; individuals or 
households.
    Frequency: Annually or on occasion (when insurance information 
changes).
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
