When SHOW HCPCS in FL 44 is set to yes, which other setting is required for a HCPCS to print FL44?

Explanation:
The key idea is that field 44 on the UB-04 form is driven by a per-line item decision to send that item to the UB form. Even if you have the global setting to show HCPCS in FL 44 turned on, a HCPCS code will only actually print in field 44 if that specific line item is marked to show on UB. The per-line checkbox in the procedure (line item) record is the gatekeeper that tells the system to include that line’s HCPCS on the UB form, so the code ends up in field 44. Other options don’t control this per-line mapping to the UB form. A patient-record flag is too broad and doesn’t guarantee per-line printing. A claim-header toggle wouldn’t dictate how line items map to field 44. And while showing HCPCS on the line item can display the code in item views, it isn’t by itself the mechanism that places the code into field 44 on the UB-04 form without the per-line show-on-UB setting.
