Attention All CEDI Trading Partners, Suppliers, Billing Services, Clearinghouses and Vendors Please stop and read the following: If you are currently accessing the National Government Services Common Electronic Data Interchange (CEDI) Gateway via one of the approved Network Service Vendors (NSVs), please ignore this message. The NSVs approved for connectivity to CEDI are: ECC Technologies, IVANS, McKesson CareBridge, MedXpress, NEBO, and VisionShare. If you are not using an NSV to connect to the CEDI Gateway, please read this important message that will impact your ability to submit your electronic transactions. In response to concerns with the security of existing direct dial-up and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service, National Government Services is eliminating the direct dial-up options and is requiring the use of a NSV for access to the CEDI Gateway. Beginning November 1, 2010, all new CEDI Trading Partners being setup with CEDI will be required to connect to the CEDI Gateway via an NSV. As of April 30, 2011, the direct dial-up connections and protocols to the CEDI Gateway will no longer be supported. NSVs provide a variety of connectivity options including internet, Secure FTP, and dial-up service should a trading partner wish to continue with the dial-up option. In addition to the added security, NSVs offer faster and more reliable connections than the direct dial-up methods. This connectivity solution aligns our Trading Partner community with CMS direction for connectivity to the Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) for online Claim Status Inquiry (CSI) access and to submit 270/271 eligibility transaction to the CMS Data Center.
