Add Medicare or DVA

Set up a patient's record for Medicare bulk billing or the DVA so their invoice claims can be automatically sent for payment.

The level of Medicare benefit is calculated as a percentage of a schedule fee for the service. A service provided in hospital attracts a benefit equal to 75% of the schedule fee; a service provided out of hospital generally attracts a benefit of 85%. For a general practitioner, the benefit is 100% of the schedule fee.
