ADA 2012 and 2018 Claim Forms

Below is an explanation of how each field on the printed ADA 2012, 2018, and 2019 Claim Forms are populated.

Note:
  • The requirements for e-claims are different than the requirements for paper claims. Printing a claim does not represent what is sent in an e-claim. Likewise information sent in an e-claim does not necessarily print on a paper claim.
  • The 2012 and 2018/2019 claims forms are nearly identical. The few changes are noted in their respective fields.
