[US Insurance Billing Additional Resources](https://support.pabau.com/en/pabau2/insurance-billing?hsLang=en#us-insurance-billing-additional-resources) # Box 14 – Date of Current Illness, Injury or Pregnancy (LMP) On the CMS-1500 claim form, **Box 14** dates the start of the patient's current illness, injury, or pregnancy. This guide explains what the box means and how Pabau handles it. **NOTE:** This article is part of the *US Insurance Billing Additional Resources* 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 14 — Date of current illness, injury or pregnancy (LMP) ![Box 14 of the CMS-1500 claim form with date cells and the QUAL cell](https://support.pabau.com/hubfs/Pabau%202%20Knowledge%20Base/cms1500-box14-form.png) Box 14 carries an **onset date** — when the current illness or injury began, or, for pregnancy claims, the last menstrual period (the LMP in the box title) — and a QUAL cell whose qualifier tells the payer which of those the date is. The box is situational: most professional claims are processed without it, and payers only expect it when the onset date affects how they adjudicate the claim. **How Pabau fills it** Enter the date in **Date of current illness, injury or pregnancy** in the claim's **Condition dates** section, and pick the **Onset date type** beside it: **431** for the onset of symptoms or illness, **484** for the last menstrual period. Both are filled in from the client's policy when you recorded them there, and you can change them for one claim. Pabau prints the date and its qualifier in Box 14 and sends the date on the electronic claim. Leave both blank when the payer doesn't need them, which is most professional claims. **NOTE:** An **accident date** is a different lane: Pabau does collect the **Accident / injury date** on the claim, but it belongs in Box 15 with qualifier 439, not in Box 14. See [Box 15 – Other Date](https://support.pabau.com/en/pabau2/box-15-other-date?hsLang=en). Always pick the date type with the date: the payer can't tell what the date means without it.
