Section 65-4-4 - Patient Data4.1. Hospitals. -- Each hospital covered by the Act must submit one (1) complete copy of the UB-82 data for each and every one of its inpatients. To the extent that a particular hospital must already submit a complete copy of UB-82 data for one or more classes of patients (e.g., Medicare or Medicaid) to the contractor, then such submissions need not be duplicated and the previously required submission will suffice.4.2. Data format. -- The UB-82 data must be submitted to the contractor on Industry Standard 1600 BPI tape or upon Wang format tape or upon similar computer tape format. Hard copies of the UB-82 data are not to be submitted to the contractor unless the hospital does not itself have access to one (1) of the above noted computer tape formats and unless the hospital first notifies the contractor.
