What should be entered in Block 24 G if only one service is performed?

In Block 24 G of the CMS-1500 form, the correct entry for a single service performed is the numeric code indicating the number of units of service provided. In this scenario, since only one service was performed, the appropriate code to enter is "1." This accurately reflects the quantity of the service given, which is essential for the insurance claim to be processed correctly.

Entering "1" conveys to the insurance provider that there was one discrete instance of a procedure or service delivered, allowing them to understand the extent of care provided and to process the claim according to the specific reimbursement guidelines for that service. Clarity in this block is critical to prevent any confusion regarding how many times the service was rendered, ensuring that the provider receives the accurate payment for the service provided.
