Medicare Administrative Contractors
use the data collected on the CMS-1500 and the CMS-1490S to
determine the proper amount of reimbursement for Part B medical and
other health services (as listed in section 1861(s) of the Social
Security Act) provided by physicians and suppliers to
beneficiaries. The CMS-1500 is submitted by physicians/suppliers
for all Part B Medicare. Serving as a common claim form, the
CMS-1500 can be used by other third-party payers (commercial and
nonprofit health insurers) and other Federal programs (e.g.,
TRICARE, RRB, and Medicaid).
