< Back

The HCFA form will print in red on a color printer.

The diagnostic codes appear on the HCFA form (field 21) in the order they were entered on the Transaction screen.

The current HCFA form is CMS-1500 (08-05). The format of the information on this form is based on their specifications. For example, based on their specifications, the telephone number does not include hyphens, and the lab charge in field 20 does not include dollar signs or decimals. Commas are used to separate the last name, first name, middle initial. Commas, periods, or other punctuation are not shown in address fields.

Form 1500 (08-05) accommodates the mandated National Provider Identifiers (NPI#’s).

Diagnostic codes are linked to medical codes through the Diagnostic/Treatment Code Linking feature. Field 24-E on the HCFA form can only be filled in by using this feature.
