What do FL 39-41 Value Codes represent on the UB-04 form?

• A. Monetary values with four-letter spaces for each code
• B. Four-letter diagnosis codes with prices
• C. Value codes with monetary amounts in four-letter spaces
• D. Narrative descriptions with costs

Answer: (C)

Value Codes in Fields 39–41 are a way to report monetary elements of the claim. Each value code identifies a specific monetary category (like a payer adjustment, deductible, coinsurance, or patient responsibility), and the corresponding dollar amount is entered in the four-character space next to that code. This pairing lets the payer see not only what type of monetary value is being reported but also the exact amount, separately from the service line charges. So the correct interpretation is that these fields carry value codes with monetary amounts in the designated spaces.
