Creating an 837p File will generate an error if the provider domain, insurance provider, or client record does not have a full nine-digit zip code, without any dashes or spaces. For example, 70003 would cause an error, as would 70003-4463, but 700034463 would be fine.
If fewer than nine digits are entered, these error messages will appear:
