# How to Download CMS-1500 Forms

### At a Glance

This guide details how to download CMS-1500 forms, individually and in bulk.

**What is a CMS-1500 (or HFCA-1500) Form?**

The Healthcare Financing Administration (HCFA)-1500 claim form, also known as **Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)-1500**, enables medical physicians to submit health insurance claims for reimbursement from various government insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare. When a physician has a private practice but performs services at an institutional facility such as a hospital or outpatient facility, the CMS-1500 form would be used to bill for their services.

For more information, visit \[[cms.gov](http://cms.gov/)]\([https://www.cms.gov/medicare/billing/electronicbillingeditrans/1500](https://www.cms.gov/medicare/billing/electronicbillingeditrans/1500)).

In Insights, we refer to these as CMS-1500 forms.

* **Download CMS-1500 Forms in Bulk**There is a `Download CMS Forms` button next to the filters at the top of the [Claim Details page](https://insights.athelas.com/v3/claim_level_view). We recommend using the filters to narrow your search, otherwise the download will probably take a very long time or fail.
  In this example, we’ll download CMS-1500 forms for this particular patient, but only for claims with an Encounter Status of ‘Approved.’
