What You Need to Know About the Revised 1500 Claim Form

The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) has announced the release of a revised 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form (version 02/12) to replace the current form (version 08/05).  In the latest development, the revised 1500 form is now with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its first comment period.  The NUCC anticipates some updates to the language on the back of the form, but no major changes to the front of the form.  Once it’s officially approved, a final version of the form (which will include the OMB numbers at the bottom) will be released by the NUCC.  The completion date for this is currently unknown but could be as early as December 2012.  New Medical Forms is a designated provider of the form, so you can be confident you’ll be informed of all the latest activity with the revised form.  Please address any questions or comments to: admin@newmedicalforms.com.
