Up to twelve diagnoses can be reported in the header on the Form CMS-1500 paper claim and up to eight diagnoses can be reported in the header on the electronic claim.
How many diagnosis codes can be on a claim?
While you can include up to 12 diagnosis codes on a single claim form, only four of those diagnosis codes can map to a specific CPT code. That's because the current 1500 form allows space for up to four diagnosis pointers per line, and that won't change with the transition to ICD-10.
How many diagnoses can be reported?
diagnoses can be reported in item 21 on the CMS-1500 paper claim (02/12) (see the 2015 PQRS Implementation Guide) and up to 12 diagnoses can be reported in the header on the electronic claim.
