This new form 02/12 is required for all claims received as of Apirl 1. For most payors they will not accept old form. Some may still accept it since ICD 10 was delayed Use letters(A,B etc) to refer to ICD codes instead of numbers to refer to ICD codes. Fill in ICD ind (small box) code box with 9 For medicare use dates form 04112014(birthday,signatue and signature on file). No slashes

Don't know about Anthem Blue Cross but Medicare required the new form Reminder: Old CMS-1500 (08/05) Claim Form No Longer Accepted!! Effective 04/01/2014, Medicare stopped accepting paper claims on the old CMS 1500 claim form with a date of 08-05 in the lower right hand corner. Novitas continues to receive and return these old forms! This delays your claim payment! The new form you should use has a date of 02-12 in the lower right hand corner.

Hi Mindy- yes. This is the new form required for all claims on and after April 1st 2014. As far as your questions regarding filling out by hand etc., I would contact provider relations for those answers. You will see they are almost exactly the same as the previous version, so if you were able to fill out by hand and fax to Anthem on the old form I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck!

Yes the cms 1500 is a universal claim form and thus blue cross may well use it. Yes it can be filled out by hand but is usually printed. Yes it can be faxed but also mailed.

This is what happened, EGP business solutions had printed out one whole batch of these forms incorrectly, namely box 17 was missing the dotted line. I called them and after faxing them 1 form that showed that mistake, they were very quick to sent me a box with the right forms by overnight delivery. I really appreciated that. I need to fill out box 17 correctly for Medicare, since I work under a referring physician, and I need to put down a referral code for that to the left of the dotted line in box 17. And, that dotted line was missing. Marion Bachra, MS, RD, LN

Yes this is the new CMS accepted form. It has some obvious differences and some not so obvious. Ant area that has "for NUCC use only" needs to remain blank. Any claim can be faxed to carriers.

The new HCFA forms are for the governments transition into the new ICD-10 coding system that has been pushed out until 10/01/2015. It is my understanding that the old 08/05 is still to be used until then. The proper way is to type out form and mail in if you are not doing a EDI transfer. My Medical company has submitted to BC/BS-Anthem recently with old form as described and it was accepted. Hope this helps. Justin M.Operations Manager

As of April l 2014 you had to start using this form. Your billing software should have reminded you. I don't file paper so I don't know what Anthem is requiring. Not all insurance are requiring it yet but they will by Nov. when the new ICD-10 codes start. It is a bummer. I have most code memorized and now I have to learn a new more COMPLICATED system. It is going to be a nightmare the first year. We are lucky in Ophthalmology because AAO is doing a lot of work for us. We already have our code books and some training. The change in the forms is the Dx code areas. Good Luck!

I purchased it last year for 2012 and it came as stated. Had no issues with the forms. Since they mentioned it for 2013 it should be ok, but I can't confirm as year to year is different but I did receive what was described with not problems. Hope the answered helped some what. Good luck

I exchanged my 301 for a 401. Mostly I use my old HCx unless the hike is straightforward (not all bushwhack) and all I need it waypoints. That said, I don't understand the question. With my 401 I use waypoints and a "go to". Sometimes a trackback.

You will receive several categories of medical alerts in the form of clear stickers. You select one to be placed on the ID. I also think you could have the ID engraved.

Yes, they are HSA eligible, but you need to buy them at a pharmacy if you want to use your HSA Visa card. I tried using my HSA Visa card to buy them on Amazon and my card was declined, so I asked the member services for my HSA company and received this response from them, "Your HSA Visa card only works at a provider location that has a medical merchant code. That is why the card was declined at Amazon. You would need to complete payment with your own personal debit/credit card and then submit for reimbursement through our website to use HSA funds."

I contacted C-line and even if you purchase directly from them, you cannot select your color. Their reason..." that's just the way they are packaged. They have to be ordered in multiples of 12 each". Just spend the extra $ to get the color you want. I ended up buying a 13-pocket accordion expanding file w/ elastic closure from Office Depot for just over $6. It's really nice! It's clear and the expanding files inside come in 3 colors: pink, blue and teal. Item # 263-729 5.5x10.25, plenty of room for receipts, coupons, checks, etc.

IF YOU HAVE the H and R that comes with a state form for free - you have to buy the second one and you will be able to efile FED 5 times for free and one time free for one state. If you have the plain deluxe (yes sounds funny) - you will need to buy two states

Hello, not sure what you are asking. I purchased some signature stamps for some doctors that needed them, they signed a piece of paper, I uploaded and attached the signature. Then they sent them with the signed signature. You can probably get a typed one as well? Hope this helps you.

I asked about my FSA as well and apparently it's covered. I ordered one this morning via the FSA card.

Novitas is one of the CMS carriers. There are several others. I can't speak for all of the private carriers directly but they usually follow CMS. http://www.hcpro.com/LTC-304342-6935/Reminder-Old-CMS1500-0805-Claim-Form-No-Longer-Accepted.html. Thanks for the question.

No - I had to write on my own paper - obviously very small piece of paper and small printing. There are 4 stickers - one that says this patient has allergies - refer to wallet for info.; one that says this patient has diabetes - refer to wallet for info.; one that says this patient has a medical condition and one that says this patient has a cardiac condition - both again, refer to wallet for more info.

Sorry J.C. not a clue. You might try the Affordable Care Web site, it seems to have all the answers.

I'm looking into this for my husband. I checked with my Insurance company, here in MA. In fact I work for my insurance company and know their benefits to be pretty liberal, but they don't cover it. It is however covered under Flexible Spending Account Plans if your company offers one of those. I may also appeal it with our company since my husband's doctor is talking of putting him on Toprol (generics aren't working) and the cost to the company for Toprol will be far greater than resperate.

The form is standard - the printing on the back is more "info" than room to add codes/billing services. I believe you can bill 6 codes/services at a time for patients.

Unfortunately I haven't filled either yet. You should be able to contact Trudeau and get instructions.
