CAHABA to Discontinue Support for HOD Access to FISS for DDE

Cahaba currently utilizes WebSphereŽ Host On-Demand (HOD) access that enables users to access Fiscal Intermediary Standard System (FISS) for Medicare claims entry, claims correction, claims status and eligibility verification. This access has been used to support access to Direct Data Entry (DDE)/FISS through dial and frame relay connectivity.  As of December 31, 2008, Cahaba is discontinuing support for HOD.

Submitters who currently use HOD must now contract with a third party for connectivity to FISS. IVANS, Inc. and VisionShare are two Network Service Vendors who offer such connectivity. Both of these companies currently have Medicare customers nationwide and are prepared to assist with transitioning providers to their products and services.  In order to insure no disruption of service, we highly recommend that you contract with a Network Service Vendor no later than December 1, 2008.
