Shellie; The implementation guide for the 837 Professional states "This is the implementation guide for the ANSI ASC X12N 837 Health Care Claims (837) transaction for professional claims and/or encounters. This implementation guide provides standardized data requirements and content for all users of the 837." BHT06 is used for "RP Reporting Use RP when the entire ST-SE envelope contains encounters. Use RP when the transaction is being sent to an entity (usually not a payer or a normal providerpayer transmission intermediary) for purposes other than adjudication of a claim. Such an entity could be a state health data agency which is using the 837 for health data reporting purposes."
I guess this is just regurgitating information, but I think it may answer your question from the IG point of view.
