Example 02: List Bill Payment

Scenario Two demonstrates a List Bill payment. This example shows a premium payer submitting an 820 transaction set to pay a group employee life insurance premium bill (Invoice). The plan covers 4 employees. Two of the employees have only one policy, two of the employees have two policies each. This is a list bill payment because the premium receiver requires the payment detail to list each individual employee and each of the policy numbers and payment amounts that are being paid in this remittance.

The premium receiver has provided the premium payer with a plan number (0011001). The premium payment will be delivered using the (ACH) network. The 820 remittance detail will accompany the fund transfer. The total payment is for $255.
