Which statement best describes the UB-04 form's use?

Explanation:
The UB-04 is used for facility claims. This form, also known as CMS-1450, is the standard for institutional providers such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other facilities to bill payers for the care delivered within the facility (room charges, facility services, supplies, and related costs). In contrast, professional services claims—billed by individual clinicians like physicians—use the CMS-1500 form. So this statement correctly identifies the UB-04’s role in billing for facility-based care.
