Value Codes and Amounts on UB-04 report what?

• A. Report monetary values requiring separate reporting (like patient responsibility) with corresponding amounts.
• B. Code patient diagnoses.
• C. List the hospital’s financial statements.
• D. Identify consulting physicians.

Answer: (A)

Value Codes and their amounts on a UB-04 are used to report monetary values that must be shown separately from the standard charge lines. This covers items like patient responsibility—deductibles, copays, and coinsurance—as well as other financial amounts that don't fit into the regular charges. By recording these as a value code with its corresponding amount, the claim clearly communicates what the patient or other payers owe in addition to the billed charges, aiding accurate adjudication and billing. This concept isn’t about coding diagnoses, listing financial statements, or identifying consulting physicians, but about capturing separate monetary values that affect payment or patient liability.
