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. CMS does not require exclusive use of this form for
Medicaid.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
