[US Insurance Billing Additional Resources](https://support.pabau.com/en/pabau2/insurance-billing?hsLang=en#us-insurance-billing-additional-resources) # Box 10 – Is the Patient's Condition Related To On the CMS-1500 claim form, **Box 10** asks whether the patient's condition is related to employment, an auto accident, or another accident. Payers read it to decide whether someone else — workers' compensation or an auto insurer, for example — should pay before they do. This guide explains sub-boxes 10a through 10d and where Pabau takes the answers from. **NOTE:** This article is part of the [*US Insurance Billing Additional Resources*](https://support.pabau.com/en/pabau2/insurance-billing/us-insurance-billing-additional-resources?hsLang=en) series, which walks through every box of the CMS-1500. If you are new to claims in Pabau, start with [Creating a US Professional (CMS 1500) Claim](https://support.pabau.com/en/pabau2/creating-a-us-professional-cms-1500-claim?hsLang=en). ## Box 10 — Is the patient's condition related to ![Box 10 of the CMS-1500 claim form with the employment, auto accident, and other accident YES/NO checkboxes](https://support.pabau.com/hubfs/Pabau%202%20Knowledge%20Base/cms1500-box-10-condition-related-form.png) The box carries three YES / NO pairs — **10a Employment (current or previous)**, **10b Auto accident**, which also has a **PLACE (State)** cell for where the accident happened, and **10c Other accident** — and exactly one of YES or NO is marked for each. Below them, **10d Claim codes** is reserved for NUCC-designated codes and is rarely used. **How Pabau fills it** The answers live on the claim, in the **Claim details** section (labelled on screen with its CMS-1500 boxes: 10, 12, 13, 22, 23, 27), and are filled in from the client's policy when you recorded them there. Three selects drive the box: **Employment related** (10a), **Auto accident** (10b) and **Other accident** (10c). All default to **No**, which is what most claims need. Change them only when the condition genuinely stems from work or an accident. ![The Claim details section of a Pabau claim with the Auto accident, Employment related, Accident / injury date, and Auto accident state fields](https://support.pabau.com/hubfs/Pabau%202%20Knowledge%20Base/cms1500-box-10-condition-related-claim-details.png) Answering **Yes** brings two more fields into play: - **Auto accident state** — required when Auto accident is Yes. Enter the two-letter state where the accident happened (TX, CA, and so on); it prints in 10b's PLACE (State) cell. - **Accident / injury date** — required whenever Auto accident or Employment related is Yes. It does not print in Box 10: it lands in Box 15 with the accident-date qualifier. See [Box 15 – Other Date](https://support.pabau.com/en/pabau2/box-15-other-date?hsLang=en). **On the electronic claim:** the same answers travel as the employment-related, auto-accident and other-accident indicators, together with the two-letter accident state. ## Boxes 10c and 10d — Other accident and claim codes 10c follows the **Other accident** field: Pabau prints YES or NO to match and sends the same answer electronically. 10d (claim codes) stays blank. It is reserved for codes a few payers designate, and most professional claims never need it. If a payer asks for a 10d code, add it in the Claim.MD portal after sending (Manage Claim), or hand-fill the printed form. **CAUTION:** Answer Yes only when the condition truly relates to the patient's work or an accident. Payers use Box 10 to decide whether other coverage — workers' compensation or an auto insurer — should be billed first, so a stray Yes can send your claim down the wrong path. Unsure about the terms payers use around accident and workers'-compensation claims?
