Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

The California Department of Health has issued a new All Facilities Letter stating that assessment data and reports can now be securely transmitted over broadband lines. The connection problem between the Medicare Data Communication Network (MDCN) and the providers' Network Address Translation (NAT) has been resolved. Instructions for providers to fix the connectivity issue will be posted on www.qtso.com/mdcn.html. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has not set a date for when the dial-up connection will be cut off, but it will be "in the very near future." Once this cut-off date is implemented, providers can no longer transmit their assessment data via the dial-up connection. Federal regulations require assessment data transmission at least every 30 calendar days. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) strongly recommends changing the method of transmission to broadband as soon as possible. Providers can contact the MDCN Help Desk for technical support at (800) 905-2069 or CDPH at (916) 324-2362.
