837 Health Care Claim

The 837 Health Care Claim is a standardized electronic document used in the United States for submitting healthcare claims for payment. When a healthcare provider treats a patient, they create this claim to request reimbursement from health insurance companies or Medicare. The 837 form includes important details like patient information, services provided, and costs. It streamlines the billing process, making it more efficient and accurate by allowing electronic submission rather than traditional paper forms, which helps ensure timely payments for medical services rendered.
