X12 112 — Property Damage Report
The 112 transmits a property damage report from a P&C claim between the insurer (or its appraiser) and the reinsurer, arbitrator, or settlement partner.
Purpose
The 112 documents a property damage appraisal: nature of the loss, damaged assets, estimated value, photos, detailed expert report. It is used after a 257 (loss notification) or FNOL to transmit the appraiser report.
It feeds subrogation processes, inter-company arbitration, and facultative reinsurance. Acknowledged by 997; corrections use a 112 replace.
Envelope structure
The 112 travels within the three X12 envelope levels (ISA/IEA,
GS/GE with functional group PD, and ST/SE).

Common pitfalls
- Estimate vs final: the 112 carries an estimate; the actual payment comes via 820 or 837 (health). Confusing both leads to double accounting provision.
- Date of loss vs report date:
DTM*036is the loss date, not the report date. Policy effective must coverDTM*036for the claim to be valid. - Photos & evidence: the 112 often references a 996 (file transfer) for photos; without a
REFpointing to the bundle, the appraisal is deemed incomplete.
