VALUE CODES
Value Codes are required for form CMS-1450 for billing. Value code(s) and related dollar or unit amount(s) identify data of a monetary nature that are necessary for the processing of this claim. The codes are two alpha-numeric digits, and each value allows up to nine numeric digits (0000000.00). Negative amounts are not allowed except in FL 41. Whole numbers or non-dollar amounts are right-justified to the left of the dollars and cents delimiter. Some values are reported as cents, so the provider must refer to specific codes for instructions.
If more than one value code is shown for a billing period, codes are shown in ascending numeric sequence. There are four lines of data: line 'a' through line 'd.' The provider uses Form Locators (FLs) 39A through 41A before 39B through 41B.
