This form is a standardized form for
use in the Medicare/Medicaid programs to apply for reimbursement
for covered services. In addition, it reduces cost and
administrative burdens associated with claims, since only one
coding system is used and maintained. HCFA does not require
exclusive use of this form for Medicaid.
