CMS-1500 (08/05) paper claim form

Most claims for Medicare Part B services require electronic submission. For those instances where a paper claim is permissible, the CMS-1500 is available from several sources.
Health care professionals and suppliers are responsible for purchasing their own claim forms. Form CMS-1500 is available in single, multipart snap-out sets or in continuous pin-feed formats and may be obtained from the United States Government Printing Office (GPO). Contact the GPO at 1-202-512-1800 or visit http://bookstore.gpo.gov external link. Form CMS-1500 may be obtained from printing companies and office supply stores, as long as it follows CMS-approved specifications. These specifications may be found in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual (Pub. 100-04, Chapter 26, Section 30) at http://www.cms.gov/manuals/downloads/clm104c26.pdf external link to pdf on the CMS website.
