Which Form Locator indicates Federal Tax Number on the UB-04 form?

• A. FL 5
• B. FL 6
• C. FL 7
• D. FL 13

Answer: (A)

Form Locators identify where each data item sits on the UB-04. The Federal Tax Number (FEIN) of the billing provider is entered in Form Locator 5, making it the field used to identify the provider for tax and billing purposes. The other form locators hold different data elements (such as dates, patient or service details, and other identifiers), so they are not used for the provider’s tax ID. That’s why Form Locator 5 is the correct location for the Federal Tax Number.
