Paper medical bills are referred to as HCFA-1500 forms, however Medicare no longer accepts paper bills from providers, all billing must be submitted via electronic claim form. If you are asking this question as the patient, your provider should be the one submitting the bill for reimbursement from Medicare.
Once Medicare has "adjudicated" the bill, MediCal's payment will be based on their policy and the patient's eligibility on the date of service.

The time limit for billing Medicare depends on when you receive the service. It can be between 15 months and 27 months. It is advised to call 1-800-Medicare to find out the exact time limit for filing your claim.
Medicare has limits on the amount of money they will pay for specific services. When a doctor or medical facility submits a claim to Medicare, Medicare will tell the provider how much money they will pay. This is normally called the "allowed amount" or the "assignment." Only Medicare themselves have access to the actual dollar amounts.
