What information is typically NOT included in Box 24 of the CMS-1500 form?

Box 24 of the CMS-1500 form is specifically designated for detailed information regarding the services provided to the patient. This box includes key elements such as the dates of service, which indicate when the healthcare services were rendered; CPT/HCPCS codes, which are crucial for identifying the specific services or procedures performed; and the charges for the services rendered, which provide the total costs associated with the care.

The patient's address is typically not included in Box 24, as this box focuses solely on the encounter details and billing information. Instead, the patient’s information, including their address, is found in other sections of the form, such as Box 2. Keeping the information organized in this way helps streamline the claims process and ensures that necessary data is readily accessible for processing and payment.
