The new CMS-1500 form version 02/12 will replace the version 08/05 and give providers the choice of using ICD-9 or 10 diagnosis codes, which will help the transition in October 2014.

Medicare will accept the revised form as of Jan. 6, 2014, and providers have until April 1, 2014, to exclusively use the new form.
