837P stands for 837 Professional.

While EDI X12 formats are based on the standards in real world there are many deviations from the standard. Some deviations are so prevalent they become de facto sub standards in they own right. One of the best examples is EDI X12 837 Healthcare Claim.

Officially there is only one EDI X12 837. But due to very different requirements for institutional, dental and professional medical claims there are subsets for 837I, 837D and 837P. There is also probably a few hundred if not thousand variations of these.

Many trading partners you might need to deal with will provide you with they own document called "Companion Guide". These additional documents list specific requirements to they business needs.
