The 2310B loop supports up to five repeats of the Rendering Provider Secondary Identifier. One of the qualifiers in that REF segment is LU - Location Number.
You are correct; there is no place for Rendering Provider Address. There are billing addresses, pay-to provider addresses and addresses where the service was rendered. If none of the above three addresses solves your need, then you will have to resort to individual provider identifiers or sub-identifiers. Hope this helps. Tom Drinkard EDIT, Inc.

In the 837, the rendering provider can be sent in the 2010AA and/or 2010AB, under the right circumstances. In those instances, the rendering providers address is available. However, if the 2310B Loop is sent for the rendering provider, there is no corresponding N3 and N4 records to accompany the data and specity the provider's address. In most IPA situations, the pay-to provider is the IPA organization itself. Underneath the IPA organizational structure are individual providers who practice at multiple locations. The practice location can tie to the contractual rebursement. For example, if your contractual arrangements were based upon geographical location, the rendering provider could have multiple practices in different locations. We have ruled out the Service Facility Loop (2310D). According to the 837 documentation, this loop is used to identify where the services were rendered. In the case of inpatient professional services, t this would represent the hospital facility where services were rendered. Another example is Dr. X going out to some business site to render care for employees. How are other payers handling this situation without the N3 and N4 records at the 2310B Rendering Provider level?
