What Is a 1450 Claim Form

The Form CMS-1450, also known as the UB-04, is the standard claim form to bill Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) when a paper claim is allowed.

How does it differ from the CMS-1500 claim form?

The two form types do not always stand alone. For example, if a surgeon performs a procedure in a facility such as a hospital or ASC, a CMS-1500 will be submitted for the surgeon’s services only, while a separate UB-04 form will be submitted for the use of the facility.

Who uses a ub04 form?

The UB-04 (CMS 1450) is a claim form used by hospitals, nursing facilities, in-patient, and other facility providers. A specific facility provider of service may also utilize this type of form.
