Take a patient-paid Medicare claim

Certification in progress

Praxi is completing Services Australia conformance testing for Medicare Online Claiming. Production claiming becomes available once Services Australia grants the Notice of Integration (NOI). This page describes the workflow so your practice can prepare.

Use this path when the client pays your practice and receives the Medicare rebate themselves.

Before you start​

Confirm Medicare setup is finished for the practitioner and location. Check the client's Medicare details, the location-specific provider number, the MBS item and any required referral.

Record payment and claim​

  1. Open the invoice and record the client's payment using your configured payment method.
  2. Choose Submit Medicare claim.
  3. Choose Fully Paid (Patient) if the full fee is paid, or Part Paid (Patient) if only part has been paid.
  4. Review the patient verification, items, rebate and gap shown in the panel.
  5. Complete any claimant details requested, resolve validation messages and select Submit Claim.
  6. Open Finance > Claims and choose Medicare to track the result.

DB4 assignment of benefit is for bulk billing, so it is not required on this path. If a result needs further information or is rejected, read the displayed reason before taking the next action.
