Purpose
This is the technical report document for the ANSI ASC X12N 837 Health Care Claims (837) transaction
for professional claims. This document provides a definitive statement of what trading partners must be
able to support in this version of the 837. This document is intended to be compliant with the data
standards set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its
associated rules.
The 837 Professional transaction is the electronic correspondent to the paper CMS-1500 claim forms;
therefore, any claim types submitted on the CMS-1500 forms correlate to the 837 Professional
transaction, if data is submitted electronically.
All required segments within the 837 Professional transactions must always be sent by the submitter
and received by the payer. Optional information is sent when it is necessary for processing. Segments
that are conditional are only sent when special criteria are met. Although required segments in the
incoming transaction may not be used during claims processing, some of these data elements are
returned in other transactions such as the Remittance Advice (835 Transaction Set).
Additional information on the Final Rule for Standards for Electronic Transactions can be found at
http://aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/final/txfin00.htm. The HIPAA Implementation Guides can be accessed at
http://www.wpc-edi.com/hipaa/HIPAA_40.asp.
Change the definition, data condition, or use of a data element or segment in a standard.
Add any data elements or segments to the maximum defined data set.
Use any code or data elements that are marked “not used” in the standard’s implementation
specifications or are not in the standard’s implementation specification(s).
Change the meaning or intent of the standard’s implementation specification(s).

This section is used to describe the required data sets for Medicaid claim processing. The 837P format is
used for submission of Electronic Claims for health care professionals. As an assumption for these file
formats, if the Subscriber is the same individual as the Patient then the Patient Loop (2000C) is not to be
populated per HIPAA compliance.
