Attention Medicare Providers Who Bill With Paper Claims!

Any paper claims received by Medicare after June 29, 2007, must be submitted on the new version of the CMS 1500 form (08-05 version). If the old CMS form (version 12-90) is received by Medicare after June 29, 2007, the paper claim will be returned to the provider for resubmission on the new form. Medicare also requires the use of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) on paper claims as well as electronic claims. Be sure to denote your NPI on the new CMS 1500 forms on both electronic and paper claims.
