Which Form Locator carries the Treatment Authorization Codes, if applicable?

• A. FL67
• B. FL60
• C. FL64
• D. FL63

Answer: (D)

Treatment Authorization Codes are placed in the Form Locator that is dedicated to authorization details. On UB-04, the field reserved for this purpose carries the Treatment Authorization Codes, so it’s the correct location to report any preauthorization provided by the payer. If there’s no authorization, that field is left blank. This setup helps the payer quickly verify that the approved treatment or services match what’s billed. The other form locators are used for different kinds of data (such as patient or admission information, procedures, or charges) and do not carry TACs, which is why they aren’t the right choice.
