Which Form Locator is used for Attending Name/ID-Qualifier 1G and is Required?

• A. Form Locator 74
• B. Form Locator 75
• C. Form Locator 77
• D. Form Locator 76

Answer: (D)

In UB-04, Attending Name/ID-Qualifier 1G is a specific data element used to capture the attending physician’s name together with the ID qualifier that identifies what kind of ID is being used. This combination is essential for clearly identifying who attended the patient and how that person is identified on the claim. Because of its role in attribution and payment, this data element is required on the claim. The Form Locator that holds this attending information is the one designated for the attending provider data, so it must be completed for a valid submission. The other options point to different provider information and do not contain the Attending Name/ID-Qualifier data, so they aren’t the correct location for this required element.
