Part A - A/B MAC J1- Palmetto GBA Transition Teleconference Call (PTT)

Throughout the Jurisdiction 1 (J1) implementation, Palmetto GBA will host a series of Medicare Part A transition teleconference calls for Part A 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.

Providers are encouraged to submit questions prior to the teleconference. Please send your questions and topics of interest to the J1 mailbox -- J1MAC@PalmettoGBA.com -- and indicate “PTT questions” in the subject line of your e-mail.
