Addendum N
UB-04/UB-92 Conversion Table - To Be Used For Reporting Non-Institutional TRICARE Encounter Data (TED) Records
Copyright:  CPT only © 2006 American Medical Association (or such other date of publication of CPT). All Rights Reserved.
Revision:  C-30, September 27, 2019
Note:  Providers are not to use this addendum for billing purposes. The contractors shall use the following codes for reporting purposes only and only in those rare occurrences where an appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)/Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code is not available. If a hospital outpatient claim is submitted by the provider with a Level III HCPCS code, the claim shall be rejected as these codes are not Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) compliant.
The revenue codes listed below are authorized by the National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC). See the National Uniform Billing Data Element specifications-Form Locator (FL) 42 for UB-04/UB-92. The codes are required for reporting to the Defense Health Agency (DHA), but do not indicate TRICARE payment policy. Refer to the 32 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 199, the TRICARE Policy Manual (TPM), the Reimbursement Manual (TRM), or TRICARE Operations Manual (TOM) to determine the TRICARE payment policy.
