I believe UB-92 is specified by Medicare, aka HCFA. Grubbing around their web site might produce something of interest. Hmmm... no, looks like there's a third party involved, see links below.

More information is available here: (http://www.hcfa.gov/medicare/edi/edi5.htm), search for 'HCFA-11450 (UB-92)' in the page.

A full specification of the UB-92, including rev codes, is here: http://www.hcfa.gov/medicare/edi/3604.pdf
