Reminder: Please Use the New Claim Forms    (Article 3)
As of Jan. 1, 2008, providers must use the new CMS-1500 (version 08/05) to submit their professional claims. Additionally, facilities must submit their claims on the new UB-04. TRICARE will no longer accept the old HCFA-1500 and UB-92 claim forms. Furthermore, to prevent claims from being submitted with incorrect information, you must also update your existing software.

To ensure timely and proper payment of your claims, please use the correct claim form and update your software! Both the CMS-1500 and the UB-04 allow for the submission of National Provider Identifiers (NPIs). Please submit an NPI when appropriate.

Note: This change applies to providers in the United States only. A decision on the overseas contract is pending.
