Which code represents Self in the relationship codes?

• A. 01
• B. 18
• C. 19
• D. 21

Answer: (B)

In the UB-04 form, the Relationship to insured field uses numeric codes to show how the patient relates to the policyholder. The code 18 stands for Self, meaning the patient is also the insured. This is used when the person seeking treatment is the person who holds the policy, so the claim ties directly to the insured’s coverage. Other codes exist for different relationships, like dependent or spouse, but only 18 indicates Self.
