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.”
