We’ve redesigned the professional claim form in the Stedi portal to make it faster and easier to manually submit 837P professional claims.

The new layout mirrors the CMS-1500 Health Insurance Claim Form, the standard paper form for professional claims in the healthcare industry. If you’ve filled out a CMS-1500 before, the new form will look familiar.

## What’s included

Aside from a new look, the form helps you submit claims with fewer errors:

- **One-to-one mapping with CMS-1500 fields** – Each field in our form has a numbered box that matches the field in the CMS-1500 form.

- **Built-in guidance** – Every field includes a help icon that opens instructions for the field. You can quickly see how each field should be completed.

- **Real-time validation** – The form validates key information, like provider NPIs and required fields, to reduce errors and claim rejections.

When you submit a professional claim using the form, Stedi validates it and sends it to the payer. You’ll see it appear on your Transactions page as a new 837P Professional Claim.

Stedi also generates a PDF CMS-1500 claim form for each professional claim you submit. Check out our [Provider docs](https://www.stedi.com/docs/providers/providers-submit-claims#download-cms-1500-pdf) for download instructions.

**Note:** Currently, the form only supports claims to primary payers. Secondary and tertiary claims aren't supported.
