Ub-04 Claim Form And Instructions

UB-04 claim form and instructions
The Office of Management and Budget and the National Uniform Billing Committee have approved the
UB-04 claim form, also known as the CMS-1450 form. The UB-04 claim form accommodates the National
Provider Identifier (NPI) and has incorporated other important changes. Sample UB-04 forms for inpatient
and outpatient claims can be found on pages 3 and 4.
The UB-04 claim form and NPI
The UB-04 claim form includes several fields that accommodate the use of your NPI. Although the form
accommodates the NPI, you may continue to report your current provider identification numbers in the
appropriate areas of the form until otherwise notified. If you have obtained your NPIs and submitted them to
us, you must report them on the UB-04 claim form.
If you have any questions regarding the UB-04 claim form, the NPI application process, or reporting your NPI
to us, please call your Network Coordinator or contact Customer Service at 1-800-ASK-BLUE.
