To correctly report the date of service in FL6, the MMDDYY format is required. Which of the following is an example of a correct entry?

a. 112220
b. 032519
c. 200104
d. 090810

Answer 1

The correct format for reporting the date of service in FL6 is MMDDYY. Among the provided options, only 'b. 032519' correctly follows this format, making it the correct entry.

Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly report the date of service in FL6, the MMDDYY format is indeed required. The list provided includes four different date entries, but only one of them follows the correct format:

• a. 112220 - This entry is incorrect as it does not follow the MMDDYY format. The year should come first, then the month, followed by the day.
• b. 032519 - This is an example of a correct entry. It follows the MMDDYY format with '03' representing the month (March), '25' the day, and '19' the year (2019).
• c. 200104 - This entry incorrectly places the year at the beginning.
• d. 090810 - This entry also incorrectly places the year at the beginning.

Therefore, the correct answer is b. 032519, which correctly adheres to the MMDDYY format for reporting dates of service.
