CMS-1500 · Box 27

Accept assignment?.

What goes here

Yes or No — does the provider accept the payer's allowed amount as payment-in-full. Required for Medicare and many state Medicaid programs.

Common mistakes

Acceptance is left blank on a Medicare or Medicaid claim — the claim is read as 'No' by default. Boxes is set to Yes for an out-of-network claim that the practice never enrolled for.
