NUBC

The National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) was formed in 1975 to develop and maintain a single billing form and standard data set to be used nationwide by institutional, private and public providers and payers for handling health care claims... In determining the data to be included, the NUBC strives to balance the need for the information against the burden of providing that information. In essence it applies the administrative simplification principles mentioned in the recently enacted Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996... With the data set operational, one of the NUBC's major roles is to maintain the integrity of the UB-92 data set. In addition, the NUBC serves as the forum for discussions that lead to mutually agreed data elements for the claim and the data elements for other claim related transactions.
