## CMS-1500 Claim Form PDF

When you submit a professional claim, Stedi automatically generates a [1500 claim form](https://www.nucc.org/index.php/1500-claim-form-mainmenu-35) PDF. If you plan to send these PDFs to payers or retain them for your records, we strongly recommend reviewing the [CMS-1500 claim form PDF](/healthcare/cms-1500-claim-form-pdf) documentation to learn how to structure claim submissions for optimal generation, the correct printer settings for generated PDFs, and general best practices.
