Which Form Locator covers the Admission Hour on the UB-04 form?

• A. FL 5
• B. FL 13
• C. FL 9
• D. FL 11

Answer: (B)

Understanding how UB-04 organizes data is key. Each data element on the form has a designated Form Locator, a specific box where you record that piece of information. The Admission Hour is the time of day when the patient is formally admitted to the hospital, and that time is captured in the Form Locator that is reserved for admission timing. On the UB-04, that location is Form Locator 13. Enter the hour and minute in a 24-hour format (for example, 1405 for 2:05 PM). The admission date is stored in the adjacent area, so together they provide the complete timestamp of when the patient was admitted. Other form locators are used for different data elements and do not record the admission hour.
