UB04 Box 6 - Start/End Care Dates on an institutional claim

When billing institutional care, the start/end dates of care included on that billing statement must appear in box 6 of the UB04 claim form.

In DrChrono, it is easy to enter/update this information from within the patient claim in the Live Claims Feed or the appointment window from the patient's chart.
