On the CMS-1500 claim form, blocks 1 through 13 include which of the following?

Blocks 1 through 13 are used to capture the patient and payer identifying information. This includes the patient’s name, address, date of birth, gender, and how the patient relates to the insured. Having these demographic details in the early part of the form ensures the claim can be matched to the correct patient record and that the payer can verify who the patient is and their eligibility. Items such as diagnosis codes and service location are entered in later sections of the form, and the physician’s signature appears in sections that attest to the services rendered, not in the initial demographic blocks.
