CMS 1500 Claim Form - Description
Dear readers, here we are offering CMS 1500 Claim Form PDF to all of you. The CMS-1500 form is a standard claim form used by a non-institutional provider or supplier to bill Medicare carriers and durable medical equipment regional carriers (DMERCs) when a provider is in compliance with Administrative Simplification Compliance Act (ASCA) requirements. If an emergency arises, you may need to rush to a nearby hospital for treatment. Even, when you have a planned surgery, you may be able to avail treatment at a hospital near you or where you live. If your treating doctor works at a specific hospital, you may prefer it over others. Qualifies for exemption from Electronic submission of claims. It is also used for billing some Medicaid state agencies. Please contact your Medicaid state agency for more information. The hospital may not be on your insurer’s list of network hospitals. The National Uniform Claims Committee (NUCC) is responsible for the design and maintenance of the CMS-1500 form. CMS does not supply forms to providers for claim submission. To purchase claim forms, you should contact the US Government Printing Office at 1-866-512-1800, local printing companies in your area, and/or office supply stores. Each of the above vendors sells the CMS-1500 claim form in its various configurations (single part, multi-part, continuous feed, laser, etc.).
