Introduction
This is the eleventh edition of Medicare Australia’s flagship publication for doctors and practice staff, Mediguide.
Mediguide will give you a quick and easy guide to the Medicare claiming system and other health programs administered by Medicare Australia. It can also be used as a source of information in conjunction with the Medicare Benefits Schedule Book and Medicare Australia newsletters, Forum and Bulletin Board.
There are a number of initiatives currently under consideration that highlight the changing environment in which Medicare Australia is operating. With a focus on making it easy to deal with Medicare Australia, these initiatives will change the way doctors and patients interact with Medicare Australia in the future.
They include a range of online options in relation to Medicare and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Medicare Australia introduced Medicare Easyclaim in 2007. Medicare Easyclaim is a new electronic Medicare claiming channel that allows medical practitioners and patients to lodge Medicare claims using the existing EFTPOS network. Bulk bill claims lodged using Medicare Easyclaim will be entirely paperless and your rebate will be paid into the practice’s nominated bank account, usually on the next working day.
