The description corresponding to each Revenue Code is entered in which Form Locator?

• A. Form Locator 42
• B. Form Locator 43
• C. Form Locator 39-41
• D. Form Locator 49

Answer: (B)

In UB-04, each service line shows a Revenue Code that categorizes the type of service or department. The numeric code goes in the Revenue Code field, and the human-readable description of that code is entered in the description field alongside it. For this form, the description text for the Revenue Code is placed in Form Locator 43. This pairing makes the line item clear to reviewers and ensures the code and its meaning are both documented. For example, if the Revenue Code is 030, the description in the adjacent field would explain what that code represents, such as Pharmacy, so the payer understands the service being billed.
