Medicare program; forms used for claiming payment--HCFA. Proposed rule

This proposed rule would revise the Medicare regulations to include provisions pertaining to various forms used in requesting enrollment in and payment for services under the Medicare program. This rule also would provide an up-to-date listing and discussion of procedures for providers of services and other practitioners to obtain billing forms that meet Medicare requirements and those of other insurers. In addition, the rule would require that hospitals, other institutional providers and physicians/suppliers obtain the new billing form HCFA-1450 and form HCFA-1500 respectively by commercial purchase.
