Lesson 4 Outline

This lesson shows you the information required for successfully submitting both the electronic claim 837P and hardcopy claim CMS-1500 in 3 categories:

• Health care professional or supplier information
• Patient information
• Payer information

For specific billing information for a specialty or supplier type, go to the Medicare Claims Processing Manual.

In Lesson 5, we’ll learn about billing information.

It’s helpful to have a printed sample CMS-1500 or an image of the form available on your computer screen as you complete this lesson.
