Once claims have been entered, the next step is to connect to First Coast. To do this, you will need a Network Service Vendor that provides a SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) connection, or the SPOT to connect via internet to the EDI platform, which is known as TIBCO. 

Connecting using SFTP

• Connect to TIBCO using your Network Service Vendor.
• Locate the file (the default location is C:/WINPCACE. The file name should be BSTRANS.DAT for Part B or BCTRANS.DAT for Part A).
• Click the file name.
• Move the file to First Coast.

Connecting using SPOT 

• Access SPOT (once enrolled).
• Click on the Claim Submission/ERA feature.
• Click on the Claims Submission/ERA link.
• Click on the Inbox tab in the upper navigation bar.
• Select the New button.
• Select Interchange, within the Operations tree list.
• Click Browse and then navigate to the claim file you want to submit.
• Select the file(s) and click Open.
• Select the Upload button.
