Medicare Patient's Request for Payment Form: CMS1490S

The following forms may be used/submitted by patients to receive reimbursement from Medicare for medical services/supplies where the patient paid the cost.

CMS1490S Instructions:

Please send the completed claim form, your itemized bill, and any supporting documents to the appropriate Medicare contractor and explain in detail your reason for submitting the claim. For example, include a statement that notifies the Medicare contractor that your provider or supplier refused or is unable to file a claim for a Medicare-covered service and/or is not enrolled with Medicare.

Doctors, providers, and suppliers are required to submit claims to Medicare when providing covered services. You can reduce your out-of-pocket expense by seeing a doctor or supplier that is enrolled in Medicare and bills Medicare for the services provided.

When you submit your own claim to Medicare, complete the entire form. If you are unable to find the National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, the Medicare contractor will look this up when processing your claim form. However, if the claim form has other incomplete or invalid information, the Medicare contractor will return the claim along with a letter to you clearly stating what information is missing or invalid.

You should mail the original claim form, a copy of the itemized bill, and supporting documents to Medicare. You should make copies of your claim submission for your records. Please allow at least 60 days for Medicare to receive and process your request.
