She notes that the patient is the dependent of the insured, so she reviews the patient regite tion intake form and finds that the date of birth for the insured is present. Can Ann accurately complete the CMS-1500? lock 9 ranc

Answer 1

No. CMS-1500 covers the Blue cross claim of both the dependent(patient) and insurer. While preparing the insurance claim, it requires the information of name, gender, and date of birth of both the dependent and insurer. Date of birth should be entered completely in eight-digit format. Without entering the date of birth of the insured person, the CMS-1500 cannot be completed.
