Updates - New Upload - Approvals - Bulk Submission (Template)
The Approval Submission Upload page allows the User to enter a date for multiple Providers or HDOs (via bulk template) who have been Committee approved along with their Next Recredentialing Due Dates for Gemini1 tracking and eventual processing of the Provider's Recredentialing application and primary source verification.
Template Upload - The User must first toggle On Template Upload in order to access the Approval Submission page whereby the most current Gemini1 Approval Submission upload template can be downloaded for use, then uploaded once readied for submission to Gemini for processing. Upon completion and readying of a Approval Submission template in Excel, it is recommended that the User name the particular template using a naming convention that will clearly differentiate that template from past/future template submissions (i.e. ABC Health Pan Approval Template 040120). Once readied and named, the User may then drag and drop (or by browsing and selecting from the User's internal library) into the upload template file area and click the Upload bar. Thereafter, the User may (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) see the results of the template submission in the Updates-Upload History section of the Client Portal (See Updates-Upload History Article(s)). All successfully uploaded Provider/HDO Approvals are executed immediately within the Provider/HDO record in Gemini1.
Template Construction (Excel) - Upon opening the Approval Submission template in Excel, the User will be guided by the first row as to the required fields and specific field format for submission. Also included within the template is a Field Dictionary which provides the User with more detailed information by field as well as a data example of acceptable field value for a more visual guide and comparison of the data you have entered for validation that it is correctly formatted. NOTE: The first two rows MUST remain exactly as shown on the template, all present + Columns (DO NOT DELETE COLUMNS) or the entire template, if altered, will be rejected.
Required Fields - Required fields are indicated in RED within the first row of the Approval Submission template, as well as in the Field Dictionary.
Standalone - Indication that the Provider, despite overlapping in multiple groups (Linked Plans), within Alliance models, Managed Service Organizations (MSO) type Clients, will not share the earliest Recredentialing Due date but keeps the Clients specific Recredentialing Due date, either permanently or over one Recredentialing three-year cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE THE TEMPLATE AS THIS MAY BE CAUSE FOR FORMATTING ISSUES RESULTING IN SUBMISSION REJECTION. PLEASE USE THE TEMPLATE PROVIDED AND DO NOT ALTER COLUMN HEADERS OR THE FIRST INSTRUCTIONAL LINE OF THE TEMPLATE. PLEASE STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN THE SECOND ROW (AND FIELD DICTIONARY) AND DO NOT DELETE THIS ROW.
