SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OWCP is 

the agency responsible for 

administration of the Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act, 5 U.S.C. 

8101 et seq., the Black Lung Benefits 

Act, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and the 

Energy Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000, 42 

U.S.C. 7384 et seq. All three of these

appropriate, OWCP needs to identify the 

patient, the specific services that were 

rendered and their relationship to the 

work-related injury or illness. The 

regulations implementing these statutes 

require the use of Form OWCP–04 or 

UB–04 for the submission of medical 

bills from institutional providers. For

published in the Federal Register on
