NEW UB-04 MANUAL NOW AVAILABLE

UHA is working with the American Hospital Association (chair of the National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC)) to promote a single UB-04 Manual. A subscription to the Beta UB-04 Data Specifications Manual is available from the NUBC. Note that the Manual also includes billing information specific to Utah payers.

The subscription price is $150 payable by check or credit card and entitles the subscriber to receive the initial release of the final UB-04 Manual. This subscription also entitles you to access the Subscribers Only section of the NUBC web site through May 23, 2007.

The new form will be phased in over a transition period from March 1, 2007 to May 22, 2007 and used exclusively for institutional billing beginning May 23, 2007. Receivers (health plans and clearinghouses) need to be ready to receive the new UB-04 by March 1, 2007. Submitters (healthcare providers such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, hospice and other institutional claim filers) can us the UB-04 beginning March 1, 2007; however, you will have a transitional period between March 1, 2007 and May 22, 2007 where they can use the UB04 or the UB92. Starting May 23, 2007 all institutional paper claims must use the UB-04; the UB-92 will no longer be acceptable after this date.
