About EDI 837 Viewer
The EDI 837 Viewer is a professional-grade, browser-based tool designed for healthcare developers, medical billers, and data analysts. It allows you to instantly parse and visualize ANSI X12 837 Health Care Claim files (Professional, Institutional, and Dental) without sending any data to a server.
Unlike other tools, this viewer runs 100% in your browser. This means your sensitive PHI (Protected Health Information) never leaves your computer, ensuring HIPAA compliance while you debug or review files.
