The CMS-1500
The CMS-1500 is a universal claim form, which is used to bill for services rendered. This type of claim form is often used by physician’s offices, medical offices, and/or hospitals. There are many different companies that accept the CMS-1500 claim form, such as, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, as well as United insurance.
