What is UB-04 form used for?

UB-04 is used for institutional billing by hospitals and facilities to request payment for facility charges. It covers inpatient and outpatient hospital services and other facility-related charges, reflecting the services provided by the institution itself rather than the professional services of individual clinicians. This form is distinct from the professional claim form (CMS-1500), which is used by physicians and other non-institutional providers to bill for their professional services. A UB-04 includes information about the patient, the facility, admission and discharge details, diagnoses, procedures, and the charges for facility costs, not a patient’s medical history or enrollment paperwork.
