Accident State is recorded in which Form Locator on UB-04?

• A. Form Locator 30
• B. Form Locator 29
• C. Form Locator 31-34
• D. Form Locator 37

Answer: (B)

The field for Accident State is the place where you record the state in which the accident occurred. This data element is part of the UB-04’s accident/occurrence information and is specifically designated to capture the location of the incident, which supports accurate processing and reporting. Why this is the best choice: it is the defined field on the UB-04 for the state of the accident, separate from other data like admission dates or diagnoses. The other fields correspond to different data elements (such as dates or patient details) and are not used to record where the accident happened.
