Which Form Locator numbers correspond to the Other ID field?

Which Form Locator numbers correspond to the Other ID field?

• A. FL 70
• B. FL 72
• C. FL 78-79
• D. FL 80

Answer: (C)

On UB-04, Form Locators map exactly where each data item is entered. The Other ID field is used to capture any additional identification numbers for the patient beyond the primary ID, and it uses two adjacent form locator positions to accommodate more than one ID or a longer ID. That’s why the Other ID data sits in the two slots labeled 78 and 79 (written as 78-79). So if there’s an extra identifier (or a second one) you’d place it in those two fields. The other locator numbers correspond to different data elements, not the Other ID, so they aren’t the correct place for this field.
