What
is
it?
A
Virtual
Private
Network
that
utilizes
secure
broadband
technology
to
connect
healthcare
providers
to
Medicare
through
FISS
(Fiscal
Intermediary
Standards
System).
Why
do
I
want
it?
If
you
have
used
a
dial-up
modem
to
connect
to
Medicare
you
understand
the
delays
and
disconnects
that
occur.
Submitting
significant
claims
volumes
in
this
manner
generate
large
monthly
bills
that
include
a
variety
of
access
fees
and
expensive
per-minute
charges.
Medicare
billers
are
often
unproductive
and
frustrated
dialing
in
and
out
of
FISS.
NeboNet
eliminates
these
problems.
The
VPN
connection
is
“always
on”
and
does
not
require
dialing
in
each
time
FISS
access
is
required.
There
are
no
per-minute
charges
and
a
single
connection
can
support
an
unlimited
number
of
billers.
As
claim
volumes
increase
connectivity
charge
remains
constant.
How
does
it
work?
A
VPN
tunnel
is
securely
setup
between
Nebo
and
your
facility.
Connectivity
is
established
using
a
3270
emulator.
Most
healthcare
facilities
use
3270
emulation
for
other
applications
but
if
your
facility
does
not
have
it
in
place
we
can
recommend
several
low-cost
vendors.
Once
connectivity
is
established,
your
billers
test
the
service
by
submitting
and
correcting
claims
as
they
normally
do.
Invariably,
the
increase
in
speed
and
productivity
are
substantial
and
deciding
to
use
this
service
is
a
“no-brainer.”
