CLAIM FREQUENCY CODES

 

 

Medical billing uses three-digit codes on a claim form to describe the type of bill a provider is submitting to a payor. Each digit has a specific purpose and is required on all UB-04 claims. The 3-digit code includes a two-digit facility type code followed by a one-character claim frequency code. See also UB-04 Facility Type Code in this documentation.
