The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) has approved a transition timeline for the version 02/12 Health Insurance Claim Form (1500 Claim Form).  In June, 2013 the NUCC announced the approval of the updated 1500 Claim Form that accommodates reporting needs for ICD-10. 

• January 6, 2014:  Payers begin receiving and processing paper claims submitted on the revised 1500 Claim Form (version 02/12).
• January 6 through March 31, 2014: Dual use period during which payers continue to receive and process paper claims submitted on the old 1500 Claim Form (version 08/05).
• April 1, 2014:  Payers receive and process paper claims submitted only on the revised 1500 Claim Form (version 02/12).
