Purpose


The purpose of amending Chapter 59B-9, F.A.C., is to standardize this rule with Chapter 59E-7, F.A.C., requirements and align current data elements collected to the uniform bill for institutional facilities (UB-04), as approved by the National uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) effective October 1, 2007. Additional clarification is necessary to refine ambulatory services, inclusion of report deadlines, define resubmission requirements, patient data release, and coincide terminology to national standards.
