UB-04 form is used by facilities to submit what type of bills?

• A. Professional claims
• B. Hospital or institutional bills
• C. Pharmacy claims only
• D. Dental claims

Answer: (B)

UB-04 is used by facilities to bill for hospital or institutional services. It’s the form facilities like hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, inpatient/outpatient departments, and similar providers use to bill for the care they deliver. This contrasts with professional claims, which use a different form (CMS-1500) submitted by individual practitioners. Pharmacy claims typically use NCPDP formats, and dental claims use the ADA claim form. So the UB-04 specifically covers hospital or institutional bills.
