The UB-04 form is used to submit claims for which setting?

UB-04 is the standard claim form for institutional providers — hospitals and other facilities that deliver care in a setting, such as inpatient or outpatient services, skilled nursing, or home health agencies billed as a facility. It’s designed to capture facility-specific details (like revenue codes and discharge status), which professional service claims (office visits) use CMS-1500 instead, and dental claims typically use dental forms or CDT-based formats. So the form is used for claims from hospitals and facilities, not for standard office-based or dental claims.
