What is another name for the UB-04 uniform bill form?

The UB-04 uniform bill form is also referred to as the CMS 1450. This designation comes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which oversees many healthcare billing and coding standards in the United States. The UB-04 form is primarily used for institutional billing, allowing hospitals and other healthcare facilities to submit claims for services provided to patients. The CMS 1450 designation serves to align the billing process under federal regulations set forth by CMS, ensuring a standardized format for reporting and processing healthcare claims.

The other options refer to different forms used in healthcare billing. The HCFA 1450 is an older name that has largely been replaced by the CMS 1450 but refers to the same form. The UB 06 is not a standard designation; the correct form name is UB-04. The CMS 1500, on the other hand, is specifically used for billing by individual healthcare providers and is not interchangeable with the UB-04. Thus, the proper terminology for the UB-04 aligns with the designation CMS 1450.
