UB Occurrence Codes Sub-Tab

Occurrence Codes define specific events relating to a bill that may affect payer processing. This is a two character alpha-numeric code that prints in Field Locators 31 - 34 on the UB claims form. You can select one Occurrence Code and Date for field locators 31a - 34b, or up to eight (8) codes and dates per encounter. Example: When you select 01 (Auto Accident) in row 31a and enter a date, the condition code 01 and the date display in field locator 31 on UB claim forms for the encounter. If the 01 (Auto Accident) occurrence code is linked to revenue code 369 Auto Accident Catastrophic, then 369 prints in the field locator box. Note: When an Occurrence Code is linked to a Revenue Code, the default Revenue Code prints on the UB form in the field locator box. The default is defined in File Maintenance > System Master Files > PM > Revenue Codes. Parent topic: Encounter Maintenance - UB Tab
