ANSI X12 837P - 2010BB - Payer Name Loop

The 837 Health Care transaction for professional claims is comprised of loops, segments and data elements. The 2010BB loop is referred to as the Payer Name Loop. The Payer Name loop is where you specify the destination payer of the primary payer.

There are basically two different versions of the 837P transaction. The initial variation referred to as 4010 and the most recent variation referred to as 5010.

We have two examples of the 2010BB Payer Name Loop below. The first one is for the current 5010 format and the second is for the older 4010 format.
