Screen 1 ê Screen 2 ê Screen 3 - Medicare Transmission Parameters Medicare Phone Number -- This is the phone number of the Medicare computer that receive the data transmission, and the number dialed by your MODEM. Note that in the screen(s) there is a comma between the 9 and the phone number. This is required if you dial 9 to get an outside line (the comma pauses after the 9 to receive a dial tone before proceeding with dialing the number). In some cases, several commas may be needed, and that will be dependent upon how long it takes to get an outside line. Test Transmission <Y/N> -- If set to Y, certain parameters are changed in the electronics claim records transmitted so that Medicare recognizes the transmission as test claims. Initially it is necessary to submit test claims. These test claims will be scrutinized for determination of either re-testing or putting on a permanent basis. After successful testing, change from Y(es) to N(o).
