The Application Form provides three options for Telecommunications (Modem Submission). Direct Dial Asynchronous.

Submitters selecting NDM as their mode of communication can find specifications in the GPNet Communications Manual. This manual is available by visiting the Web site at www.palmettogba.com.

Test cycles run once a day, Monday through Saturday, at 8:00 p.m. EST. Error reports are available one business day after each cycle. Submitters should retrieve their reports, correct any errors, and re-submit the claims until a single file of 20 claims is 95% error free. Once that occurs, an EDI representative will notify you within 24 hours when to begin submitting production claims. Production cycles run once a day, Monday through Friday, at 7:00 p.m. EST. Edit reports are available the following morning. These reports are critical to your daily operations; they indicate whether a claim was accepted into s system for processing. If the claim was rejected, correct any errors and resubmit it. If it was accepted, the Claim Control Number (CCN) on the edit report is its permanent identification in our system. 2.

The GPNet communication platform supports asynchronous telecommunications up to 56K bps. It will support numerous asynchronous telecommunication protocols, including Kermit, Xmodem (Check Sum), Ymodem (Batch) and Zmodem. Most off-the-shelf communication software will support one or all of these protocols. You may select any of the protocols indicated; however, Zmodem is recommended based on its speed and reliability. The asynchronous user s modem should be compatible with 56K, V.34-28.8 bps or V.42-14.4 bps. In addition, we encourage the use of PKZIP compatible compression software. GPNet is defaulted to send uncompressed files; therefore, if you wish to receive all of your files in a compressed format, contact the Technology Support Center for maintenance to the database. Note: In addition to modem file transfers, GPNet also supports file transfers via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and CONNECT:Direct (also known as Network Data Mover or NDM). The GPNet platform is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The real time editing system is down from 11:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. EST. If the editing system is not available, you may still upload a file to GPNet. As soon as the editing system resumes processing, files in GPNet will be edited. The response files will be built and loaded into your mailbox for retrieval at your convenience within 24 hours. Response files, which indicate your Medicare edits, are available in either a file format or a report format. GPNet defaults to the report format. If you wish to receive the response file in the file format, contact the Technology Support Center at 1-866-749-4301. The following asynchronous communication packages are currently successfully transmitting to GPNet: ProComm Plus; Release 2.03 (DOS) ProComm Plus; Release 2.11 (Windows) Crosstalk; Release 2.2 (Windows) QuickLink2; Release 1.4.3 (Windows) PC Anywhere; Release 5.0 (DOS) The settings you should verify are: Terminal Emulation - VT100 Parity - NONE PC Anywhere; Release 2.0 (Windows) Term; Release 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 Mlink; Release 6.07 HyperTerminal; Windows 95, 98, and NT Data Bits 8 Stop Bits - 1 For Zmodem, ensure that both sender and receiver crash recovery is OFF or set to OVERWRITE. When downloading a file, this setting will determine whether Zmodem overwrites an existing file of the same name. Since the response file name will be repeated, we recommend that the downloaded files be renamed or moved to another directory immediately to avoid losing or overwriting a file. Notice To Billing Services If you will be submitting claims for more than one supplier and you do not have a financial relationship with those suppliers (other than a billing relationship), you will be classified as a billing service.
