With the CMS-1500 electronic submission mandate fast approaching, the Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) is continuing its CMS-1500 webinar series tomorrow for providers. Effective August 1, 2025, the Board is requiring health care providers, regardless of office size or patient population, to submit the CMS-1500 universal medical billing form electronically through a Board-approved electronic submission partner.
After August 1, 2025, the Board will not act on, or enforce payment of, paper CMS-1500 forms and workers’ compensation payers can deny them, which means the submitting provider will not be paid. To ensure uninterrupted payment for services, the Board urges all providers to transition to electronic submission now. For more information, join one of our upcoming webinars.
Each one-hour webinar session will cover:
- A brief overview of CMS-1500
- The significant benefits of electronic submission, already available
- Currently authorized submission partners
- The submission process
The sessions are free and there will be time at the end for questions. Register here.
