Medicare/Medicaid Reimbursement
Claims. 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.

1320.8(b)(3).
