Support Overview

Software Support

The Technical Support Department at GBA Health Network Systems is comprised of fully-trained professionals many with years of experience working with the software that they support.

When contracted customers call GBA for support, they talk with live representatives – not machines with recordings. Often the first representative who answers the call, is able to resolve the customer’s issue. If not, the representative takes the information, assigns a reference number to the call, and logs it into GBA’s Customer Monitoring System. GBA Support and Systems Technicians access the Customer Monitoring System, retrieve the call, and contact the customers in order of their issue’s receipt and severity.

Support hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.

Hardware Support

GBA Health Network Systems has a dedicated staff of technicians in its Hardware Services Department to handle a variety of equipment and networking issues on customer’s systems.


Qualified technicians, many certified as network engineers, travel to customers’ offices to troubleshoot hardware issues or to update or replace equipment.

GBA offers two types of service contracts:

Hardware Service Contract

GBA offers Hardware Equipment Service Agreements to customers who qualify. The agreement covers system equipment, operating system, and/or backup mechanism.

A GBA Equipment Service Agreement benefits a practice by:

  •   Providing by telephone or on-site, a professional, trained staff of equipment
      service technicians who are conversant in all aspects of your operating     system and are up-to-date with new technologies.
  •   Entitling your practice to an annual on-site equipment evaluation
  •   Troubleshooting for your long-term protection
  •   Providing replacement equipment for defective equipment
  •   Ensuring that your system is configured for optimal operation
  •   Affording prompt, priority service over non-contracted customers

For customers, who decline a service agreement and are in the GBA serviceable area, service and support can be provided at an hourly rate. The minimum charge for this service is $450 plus parts.

Network Services Contract

GBA's Network Services Contract is a prepaid service agreement that allows practices to choose the level of service to meet the individual needs of their office and staff. Customers can purchase pre-paid hours at a discounted bulk rate, which can be used for systems support via telephone or onsite service with a trained systems technician.

A Network Services Contract helps maintain a computer's security with proactive systems checks conducted monthly, quarterly, or annually based on the size and complexity of your network. Unused hours will never expire with our rollover plan.
