the HCFA-1500 a short-term clearance through 04/2002 to ensure that
HCFA resubmits in a timely manner the revised HCFA-1500, consistent
with the final HIPAA transaction rule. The revised submission
should include a burden estimate that has been reconciled with the
HIPAA transaction rule's burden, as well as an expiration date and
revised disclosure statement that complies with the Paperwork

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.
