FL 42 – Revenue Code Required. The provider enters the appropriate revenue codes from the following list to identify specific accommodation and/or ancillary charges. It must enter the appropriate numeric revenue code on the adjacent line in FL 42 to explain each charge in FL 47. Additionally, there is no fixed “Total” line in the charge area. The provider must enter revenue code 0001 instead in FL 42. Thus, the adjacent charges entry in FL 47 is the sum of charges billed. This is the same line on which non-covered charges, in FL 48, if any, are summed. To assist in bill review, the provider must list revenue codes in ascending numeric sequence and not repeat on the same bill to the extent possible. To limit the number of line items on each bill, it should sum revenue codes at the “zero” level to the extent possible.

Revenue code Definition:


For inpatient services, the revenue code identifies the department in which the  service was given, the types of services provided, and the supplies used. The non
-covered services defined in a member’s contract may include but are not limited to  the  following. Consult the member booklet for a complete listing of all non
– covered services:
* Services, supplies, drugs, and medications furnished in connection with or directly related to  any condition, service, or supply that is not covered under the mem
ber’s contract.
* Services, supplies, drugs, and medications furnished in connection with or directly related to  a benefit that has been exhausted.
* Any service or supply not specifically listed as covered, unless preauthorized by the plan.
* Amounts that excee d the allowable charge or maximum benefit for a covered service.
* Experimental or investigational services. An exception may be allowed for participation in a  clinical trial when enrollment criteria are met.
* Services covered by other sources such as motor vehicle medical, personal injury protection, commercial liability coverage, or other types of liability insurance.

The following chart identifies revenue codes that require a specific CPT/HCPCS code in field 44 of the UB-04.

Revenue Code        Description           CPT/HCPCS Code

0300 – 0309        Laboratory – Clinical Diagnostic      Code for lab procedure performed

0310 – 0319      Laboratory – Pathology     Code for pathology procedure performed

0320 – 0329           Radiology – Diagnostic      Code for radiology procedure performed

0333                Radiology – Therapeutic   Code for therapeutic radiology procedure performed

0340 – 0349            Nuclear Medicine        Code for nuclear medicine procedure performed

0350 – 0359          CT Scan          Code for CT scan performed

0360 – 0369       Operating Room Services     Code for surgery procedure performed

0400 – 0409       Other Imaging Services     Code for imaging services, such as, mammography, ultrasound, PET, etc.

0450 – 0459         Emergency Room             Code for visit or surgery procedure performed

0460 – 0469              Pulmonary Function        Code for pulmonary function procedure performed

0471                   Audiology                  Code for audiology service performed

Revenue Code and CPT/HCPCS Codes

The Revenue Code and CPT/HCPCS codes must be compatible.

For example:

Pathology services must be billed with the appropriate Pathology CPT code and the Revenue Code 031X. All Revenue codes should be extended to four digits.

If you have questions regarding proper matching of CPT codes to revenue codes, or the relevant billing units, information is provided in “The UB-04 Editor®”, available from St. Anthony Publishing at 800-632-0123.

Hospital Claims Filing Instructions – Inpatient

The Hospitals in the HMO networks have agreed to:

Accept reimbursement for covered services on a negotiated price, DRG rates and/or per diems as stated in their contract.
Provide utilization review and quality management programs to be consistent with those of their peers in the health care delivery system.
Be responsible for notifying the Utilization Management Department of an elective admission prior to admission and an urgent/emergency admission within the later of 48 hours or by the end of the next business day.

Type of Bill (TOB) The correct type of bill must be used when filing claims. A claim with an inpatient TOB must have room and board charges. Refer to the UB-04 manual for the valid codes.

NPI Some facilities may have several NPI numbers (i.e., substance abuse wings, partial psychiatric day treatment). It is important to bill with the correct NPI for the service you provided or this could delay payment or even result in a denial of a claim.

Patient Status The appropriate patient status is required on an inpatient claim. An incorrect patient status could result in inaccurate payments or a denial.

Revenue code  – In relation to inpatient admissions

•     Revenue Code 760 is not allowed because it fails to specify the nature of the services.

•     Revenue Code 761 is acceptable when an exam or relatively minor treatment or procedure is performed. If Revenue Code 761 is used for an outpatient bill type, a CPT code describing the treatment or procedure must be also present. The amount of charges for the treatment room that will be considered in the calculation of the reimbursement amount is limited to the contracted rate for the service.

•     Revenue Code 762 is acceptable when an outpatient is being observed and treated in a non-ICU/CCU setting for a period of time or when a direct inpatient admission is not clear until the results of tests or procedures are confirmed and clinical care meets the inpatient admission criteria.

•     Revenue Code 762 may also be used when a surgical outpatient requires an extended treatment period following an outpatient surgical or major diagnostic procedure. The amount of charges for an observation period as noted in the preceding paragraph that will be considered in the calculation of the reimbursement is limited to the amount of the filed semi-private room rate in effect at the time of service.

•     Revenue Code 769 is only to be used when a highly intensive outpatient procedure is performed (i.e., cardiac catheterization, pacemaker procedures, etc.) and an ICU/CCU level of post procedure treatment and observation is necessary and appropriate. The diagnosis code should indicate the need for this level of care. The amount of charges for an observation period as noted in the preceding paragraph that will be considered in the calculation of the reimbursement amount is limited to the amount of the filed ICU or CCU room rate in effect at the time of service.


FL 42. Revenue Code Update

Required. For each cost center for which a separate charge is billed (type of accommodation or ancillary), a revenue code is assigned. The appropriate numeric revenue code is entered on the adjacent line in FL 42 to explain each charge in FL 47.
Additionally, there is no fixed “Total” line in the charge area. Instead, revenue code “0001” is always entered last in FL 42. Thus, the adjacent charge entry in FL 47 is the sum of charges billed. This is also the same line on which noncovered charges, if any, in FL 48 are summed.
To assist in bill review, revenue codes are listed in ascending numeric sequence to the extent possible. To limit the number of line items on each bill, revenue codes are summed at the “zero” level to the extent possible.
Providers have been instructed to provide detailed level coding for the following revenue code series:
0290s – rental/purchase of DME
0304 – rental and dialysis/laboratory
0330s – radiology therapeutic
0367 – kidney transplant
0420s – therapies
0520s – type of clinic visit (RHC or other)
0550s-0590s – home health services
0624 – Investigational Device Exemption (IDE)
0636 – hemophilia blood clotting factors
0800s-0850s – ESRD services
9000 – 9044 – Medicare SNF demonstration project
Zero level billing is encouraged for all services which do not require HCPC codes.
