Final answer:

The HCFA-1500 claim form was updated to CMS-1500 in July 2001 to align with the change in the name of the agency to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Step-by-step explanation:

The HCFA-1500 claim form was changed to the CMS-1500 in July of 2001. This form is used by non-institutional providers and suppliers to bill Medicare Administrative Contractors when a provider qualifies for a waiver from the Administrative Simplification Compliance Act (ASCA) requirement for electronic submission of claims.

The name change from Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reflects the change in the name of the administering agency itself in 2001.
