This form is a standardized claim form
for use in the Medicare/Medicaid programs to apply for
reimbursement for covered services. Many private insuers also use
this form. Use of this form reduces costa nd administrative burdens
associated with professional claims because only one format need be
used and maintained. CMS does not require exclusive use of this
form for Medicaid.
