Which three code types can be automatically added to UB claims by the UB screen?

• A. Occurrence Codes, Value Codes, and Conditional Codes
• B. Disposition Codes, Adjustment Codes, and Tax Codes
• C. Diagnosis Codes, Procedure Codes, and Modifier Codes
• D. Service Codes, Unit Codes, and Batch Codes

Answer: (A)

The UB screen is designed to auto-populate data that describes events and financial values tied to a claim, not the clinical codes themselves. Occurrence Codes and their dates capture events during the encounter (like admission and discharge dates) that affect billing. Value Codes carry monetary amounts or other value-related data the payer needs for adjudication (such as patient responsibility or facility charges). Conditional Codes indicate special conditions or rules attached to how the services were billed. These three groups together provide essential non-clinical, billing-specific information the system can derive automatically from the encounter and charge data, streamlining claim submission and reducing manual entry.

Other options point to areas not typically auto-added by the UB screen: clinical diagnoses and procedure-related codes are entered by clinicians/coders; and the remaining groups (disposition, adjustments, taxes, service/units/batch) don’t represent the same auto-fill categories used for UB-04 claim metadata.
