Question

a) Charges are multiplied by the value in Block 24G
b) Charges are divided by the value in Block 24G
c) Charges for all units on that line are added together
d) Charges for all units on that line are subtracted

Answer 1

In medical billing, when Block 24G indicates 2 or more units, the charges listed in Block 24F should be multiplied by the number of units in Block 24G to reflect the total charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

When completing Block 24F for charges in medical billing, if Block 24G has a value of 2 or greater, which represents days or units of service, the appropriate action to take is to multiply the charges by the value in Block 24G. This means if a single unit's charge is documented in Block 24F, and multiple units of that service were provided, you would multiply the charge by the number of units or days indicated in Block 24G to reflect the total charges for those services. This is generally how the quantity of services or supplies provided affects the total charge on the claim.
