837P file fails validation

Separate missing claim details from structural file errors.

Steps to try

  1. Confirm the program and file typeMake sure you are using the 837P electronic-claim workflow, not only the CMS-1500 paper-filing edition.
  2. Review required claim detailsCheck the test claim’s provider, subscriber, patient, diagnosis, and service information for missing required values.
  3. Run a preliminary file reviewUse the free 837P Validator & Viewer as a first-pass inspection tool; payer-specific edits may still apply.
  4. Compare the reported locationWrite down the specific error, loop or segment reference, and receiving organization. Do not send real claim files containing patient data.
