   • New Providers, as well as existing providers who are assigned a new PTAN (Provider Transaction Access Number), must enroll for EDI using an EDI Enrollment Form. To access the Enrollment Forms go to: http://www.PalmettoGBA.com/jmb/edi, select Enrollment from left margin.

Important Information:

• Ambulance and Mass Immunization Billers must accept assignment on all of their Medicare claims; therefore, NAS will automatically establish 2 suppliers in the Medicare Participation program.
• Suppliers submit ALL required application combinations at the same time; not doing so results in the physical return of the supplier's mailed request.
• Required documentation must be submitted with the initial application(s); not doing so results in delayed processing.
• Signature errors are the number 1 reason application processing is delayed. Ensure the right Delegated Official, Authorized Official and Applicant signs and dates the appropriate section(s) prior to submission.
