Medicare forms and templates

Use the form that matches the task. Open Settings > Medicare > Forms for Services Australia form links; use the setup wizard for provider-location HW027s.

Record assignment of benefit (DB4)

Record DB4 consent in the invoice claim panel before every bulk-billed claim, including Tyro. Choose the method that matches the consent given and provide the client's receipt when available. Verbal assignment is accepted for services through 30 June 2027. See Record bulk-bill consent.

Register each provider number (HW027)

Use Download HW027 details to copy in HW027 for each provider number in the Medicare setup wizard. Copy the details to the official HW027. The practitioner must complete, sign and date Q28 on the official form, then lodge it using its instructions and record I've lodged it. Do not sign or lodge the Praxi details sheet.

Praxi prefills the Location ID. Leave question 3 blank for Praxi's PRODA; use your practice's PRODA organisation RA number for your own PRODA. Praxi links the Location ID on your behalf on its PRODA path. HPOS cannot link the provider number to that ID. See Lodge an HW027.

Tyro handles provider approval on its path. If Tyro asks for an HW027, use Tyro's Location ID.

First-time online claiming registration (HW052)

Unregistered providers also complete HW052. Use the current form from Services Australia. On HW027, check the bank institution and account details at Q23 and select Medicare bulk bill and DVA payments at Q24.

Review claim documents

Use Patient receipt (DB4) in the claim panel when available for the client's assignment copy. Review your claim reference and result from Finance > Claims. See Medicare claims in Finance and Medicare reports when following up a claim.
