What a claim follows in Georgia

GAMMIS and a Georgia Families plan are not the same submission.

GAMMIS and Georgia Families

The Department of Community Health runs Georgia Medicaid. Fee-for-service claims use GAMMIS. Members in Georgia Families are billed to their plan. A Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care payer ID will not pay a Georgia member.

Palmetto GBA, Jurisdiction J

Medicare Part A and Part B for a Georgia practice go to Palmetto GBA, Jurisdiction J, with Alabama and Tennessee. Florida uses First Coast Service Options, Jurisdiction N. South Carolina uses Palmetto Jurisdiction M.

Workers' compensation

Georgia is not a no-fault state. A work injury is billed to the employer's carrier under the State Board of Workers' Compensation. It is not a GAMMIS claim.

The border with Florida is the easy mix-up. Medicare changes contractor at that line, and Medicaid changes program. A practice in Augusta bills South Carolina members to Healthy Connections, not to Georgia Families.
