Q. What happened as a result of the National Uniform Billing Committee's (NUBC) review of the "9 - Other" subcategory codes?
A. In the process of developing the UB-04 (also known as CMS-1450), the NUBC reviewed the "9 - Other" subcategory codes for necessity, clarity and redundancy.
As a result of their review, several "9" codes were designated as reserved for assignment by the NUBC because the "0 - General Classification" codes were deemed sufficient. Specific revenue codes removed include: 0599, 0709, 0719, 0749, 0759, 0779, 0789, and 0799.
