Watch out: There’s a new CMS-1500 in town, and it’s changing the rules for how to file your claims. To avoid rejected claims or delayed payments, you better be ready to file with the new form by June, when the revised CMS-1500 is expected to become the law of the land. After CMS’s form-printing snafus and the confusing (sort of) postponement of the NPI-only date, it’s hard to know exactly what form you need to file, what info needs to be included and where to fill it in.

Presenter Maxine Lewis, president of Medical Reimbursement Management in Cincinnati, brings her coding and practice management expertise to give you solid answers to some of the thorniest questions about the new CMS-1500.

Maxine will show you:

Where the NPIs go and whether they need to be there
What private payers require. Is it the same as Medicare?
What the new item 24i is all about
