Which field is used to record the total charge for the revenue code?

• A. FL 47 Total Charges
• B. FL 45 Service Date
• C. FL 46 Service Units
• D. FL 44 HCPCS

Answer: (A)

The amount charged for a line item is captured in the Total Charges field. On UB-04, each line item lists the revenue code, a procedure/service code (HCPCS), the date of service, and how many units were provided. The Total Charges field is the monetary total for that entire line—it's the sum billed for that revenue code, not the date or the number of units. The other fields serve different purposes: the HCPCS field records the specific service or procedure, the service date field shows when it occurred, and the service units field shows how many units were provided. So, to reflect the money charged for that revenue code, you use the Total Charges field.
