Agency 5. Department of Health
Chapter 218. Rules and Regulations Governing Outpatient Health Data Reporting
12/9/2024

12VAC5-218-20. Reporting requirements for outpatient data elements.

Every reporting entity performing outpatient surgical procedures shall submit each patient level data element listed in the table in this section for each patient for which an outpatient surgical procedure is performed and for which the data element is collected on the standard claim form utilized by the reporting entity. Most of these data elements are currently collected from a Uniform Billing Form (UB-04) located in the latest publication of the Uniform Billing Manual prepared by the National Uniform Billing Committee or from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Health Insurance Claim Form (CMS 1500). The Uniform Billing Form and the Uniform Billing Manual are located on the National Uniform Billing Committee's website at www.nubc.org. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Health Insurance Claim Form is available on the CMS website at www.cms.gov. Every reporting entity performing outpatient surgical procedures shall submit in an electronic data format. The nonprofit organization will develop detailed record layouts for use by reporting entities in reporting outpatient surgical data. This detailed record layout will be based upon the type of base electronic or paper-billing form utilized by the reporting entity. Outpatient surgical procedures reported shall be those adopted by the board as referred by the nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization may recommend changes to the list of procedures to be reported not more than annually.
