• A. Block 34

• C. Block 32

Answer: (C)

The place where the services were provided is entered in the field labeled Facility Location of Services. This field is used to record the facility’s address or the location where the care was actually given, including city, state, and ZIP. Capturing the correct site matters because it helps the payer determine where the service occurred, which can affect billing rules and payment for facility versus professional charges. Other areas on the form collect information about the patient, the insured, or the provider, but they aren’t designated to show where the service took place. That’s why this field is the correct place to indicate the facility’s location.
