Update
ODJFS has announced an implementation date for the new CMS 1500 form, version 08/05. Beginning with claims submitted on May 27, 2007, all providers who submit claims directly to Medicaid on a 1500 may use either form until further notice. The billing instructions for the old form have been revised and are effective with claims submitted on or after May 27, 2007. Revisions to the old form instructions appear in red.
Attached, you will also find the revised CMS 1500 billing instructions providers using the new 08/05 version of the CMS 1500 are to follow. NOTE: The new form can be used as of 5/27/07 regardless of date of service. The change has no impact on providers who utilize EDI vendors, with the exception of reporting NPI's for those who are required to obtain one.
Regardless of the form used, any provider who is required to use an NPI must begin using it on claims submitted on or after May 27, 2007. This applies to paper claims and EDI claims. Failure to follow the new instructions (either form) may result in claim denials or incorrect payment.
ODJFS no longer mails Medical Assistance Letters and updated program information to providers. Updates and new information is only available on-line and providers are responsible for checking for updates on their own
