NM110 and NM111 further define the type of entity in NM101.

Notes:

1. If the billing provider and the pay-to provider are the same entity, then it is not necessary to put in the pay-to-provider loop.
2. Because the usage of this segment is “situational” this is not a syntatically required loop. If the loop is used, then it is a “required” segment. See Appendix A for further details on ASC X12 nomenclature X12 syntax rules.
