Alternative solution:

 

Proc sort data=have; by claim_id visit; run; /* assuming data is not sorted already */

data want;
 set have(rename=(visit=visit1));
  by claim_id;
       length visit $10;  /* adapt length to max number of visits */
       retain visit;
       if first.claim_id then visit=' ';
       visit = catx(',' , visit, visit1);
       if last.claim_id then output;
run;
