April 2014

Old version of CMS-1500 claim form discontinued

As you’ve read in previous issues of The Record, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is no longer accepting the 08/05 version of the CMS-1500 claim form or the Status Claim Review Form, effective April 1, 2014.

You need to use the revised CMS-1500 form, version 02/12. This form replaces both the old CMS-1500 (version 08/05) and the Status Claim Review Form.

If you submit an old CMS-1500 form (version 08/05) or Status Claim Review Form, it will be returned.

You can order the revised CMS-1500 claim form (version 02/12) by completing the Facility and Professional Supply Requisition form. There are two ways to access the form.

  • From web-DENIS, click on BCBSM Provider Publications and Resources.
  • Click on Provider Manual.
  • Click on Provider Type and select yours from the “Make Selection” box.

  • Click on Forms and supplies and then on Facility and Professional Supply Requisition.
  • Print and complete the form and mail it, along with a check for the total amount of your order, to the address provided on the form.

2) Through the Newsletters & Resources page:
