The National Uniform Claims Committee (NUCC) has released the new CMS 1500 that allows reporting of both ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes on your claims.
 
In other changes, the form will no longer ask for a patient’s Social Security number; that’s been replaced with “ID#.” 
 
CMS plans to begin phasing in the new form for Medicare claims starting in January 2014, according to NUCC.
