Which Form Locator corresponds to Patient's Reason for Visit Code?

• A. Form Locator 70
• B. Form Locator 71
• C. Form Locator 72
• D. Form Locator 80

Answer: (A)

In UB-04, each data element on the claim has a designated Form Locator. The patient’s reason for visit code is captured in Form Locator 70, which is specifically the field used to describe why the patient sought care. This makes it distinct from other data elements like diagnoses or procedures, which appear in their own locators. The remaining locators listed are used for other information on the claim, not the reason for visit, so they don’t fit for this data element.
