Final answer:

The inaccurate description of the change from the UB-92 to the UB-04 claim form is the elimination of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) field. This is incorrect because the NPI field was added in the transition to the UB-04 form. (option d)

Step-by-step explanation:

The differences between the UB-92 and UB-04 claim forms, which are used in the healthcare industry for billing purposes. Specifically, the student is asking about which feature was not changed when transitioning from the UB-92 to the UB-04 form.

The correct answer is the elimination of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) field. This statement is not an accurate description of a change because the transition from UB-92 to UB-04 included the addition of the NPI field, not its elimination. The other options provided in the question are indeed accurate descriptions: The UB-04 claim form expanded space for diagnosis codes, added revenue codes and changed the date format from a 6-digit to an 8-digit field.
