Reminder re: New 1500 Paper Claim Form (2/12)

The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) published a revised 1500 Paper Claim Form (version 02/12), which replaced version 08/05 earlier this year. The goal of the NUCC in changing the 1500 form was to align the 1500 with changes in the 5010 837P transaction and accommodate ICD-10 reporting needs.

Generally speaking, NCTracks only accepts electronic submission of professional claims, either through the NCTracks Provider Portal or as an 837P X12 transaction. (The exceptions are only for situations like time limit overrides and Medicare overrides.)

NCTracks began accepting the new 1500 paper claim form (2/12), where appropriate, on September 1. As explained in the August 28 announcement, the old 1500 form (08/05) is no longer accepted as of December 1, 2014. Claims submitted on the the old 1500 form (08/05) will be rejected.

See the link below for the full announcement about the new 1500 form (02/12).
