UB04 Boxes 39 - 41 - What is a value code and why is it needed on my institutional claim?

Value codes are required on an institutional claim to identify data elements such as:

  • Medicare lifetime reserve days, no-fault payments, and the number of days not covered by the primary payer.

They can be easily added to the UB04 by navigating to Billing > Live Claims Feed > Inside patient's encounter > right side of the screen > value code tab.
