The field for the Insured's Group Number uses which Form Locator?

• A. FL60
• B. FL64
• C. FL62
• D. FL65

Answer: (C)

Understanding Form Locators on the UB-04 helps you place data where payers expect it. The Insured's Group Number is the group or policy identifier used with the insured’s policy, and the UB-04 standard assigns that value to a specific locator: Form Locator 62. This field is defined as the Insured’s Policy Group or FECA Number, which is exactly the group identifier a payer uses to match the patient to the correct benefits under the employer’s plan. If you put the group number in another locator, the claim may not link to the right policy, causing processing delays or denial. The other locators listed are for different insured-related data, not the group number, so the correct place for the group number is Form Locator 62.
