Palmetto GBA will be conducting workshops throughout the J1 region and will

have an opportunity to hear directly from your Medicare Administrative
Contractor (MAC) regarding such topics as transition dates, what is needed
to continue to bill electronically, how the Local Coverage Determination
process will work, address any differences in claims processing guidelines
and much more. Additional information, as well as the capability to
register for the workshops, will be provided as we near the dates of the
workshops.

Throughout the Jurisdiction 1 (J1) implementation, Palmetto GBA will host a
series of Medicare Part B transition teleconference calls for Part B
providers in Hawaii, Nevada, California, Guam, American Samoa and the
Northern Mariana Islands. These one-hour sessions will provide you with the
most recent transition information and will address the questions you have
about the implementation. This is your opportunity to speak with the J1 A/B
MAC and to discuss the implementation topic of your choice. The
teleconferences are similar to the “Ask-the-Contractor Teleconferences”
(ACT) offered by the Medicare fee-for-service contractors but will be
focused on J1 transition issues.
