2 UB-92 Billing Module Basic Rules... 2 Before You Begin... 2 Reimbursement and Co-payment... 2 How to Complete the UB

3 Basic Rules Instructions for completing the UB-92 claim form are included on the following pages. There are some basic rules you must know before you complete the claim form. Always use the UB-92. Use one claim form for each client. Be sure the information on the form is legible. Before You Begin Before you begin to fill out the claim form you should answer the following questions: Is the client eligible for EqualityCare on the date of service? Do you have a copy of the client's proof of eligibility? Does EqualityCare cover the service? Have the service limitations been exceeded? Did you obtain prior authorization, if applicable? Have you checked to make sure the client does not have other insurance? If your response to all of the above questions is favorable, you can begin to fill out the claim form using the instructions in this module. A separate notation is made when inpatient-billing instructions differ from outpatient billing instructions. Use the instructions applicable to the type of claim you are completing. The number appearing with each instruction corresponds to the form locators on the UB-92. Reimbursement and Co-Payment Reimbursement EqualityCare reimbursement for covered services is based on a variety of payment methodologies depending on the service provided: EqualityCare fee schedule By report pricing Billed charges Invoice charges Negotiated rates Level of care Per diem A schedule of EqualityCare fees by procedure is available online at or upon written request to: ACS, Inc.
