Subject: [ShareHIPAA] Medicare Claims -- Electronic and Paper

 

Two items; mostly related to Medicare but not completely.

 

1)    The final rule for "Electronic Submission of Medicare Claims" was

published in the Federal Register, Volume 70, Number 226, 25 November

2005, pages 71008-71020.

 

2)    CMS' announcement of a review and comment period for the new 1500

form was published in the Federal Register, Volume 70, Number 231, 2

December 2005, page 72305.  It's short, so I've attached it to this

message.  Closing date for comments is Tuesday, 31 January 2006.  Note

that while this paper form will be mandated for use for Medicare claims,

many other payers also require it.
