EFTPOS terminal user Manual
How does Medicare Australia allow patients to lodge their claims and receive their rebates through the HICAPS terminal?
Medicare Easyclaim is used for bulk bill and/or patient claims including Enhanced Primary Care (EPC). There are three payment options for patient claims that can be lodged through Medicare Easyclaim. The type of claim submitted is dependent on the manner in which you have agreed with your patient to settle the account.
- Fully paid account - patient has paid their account in full.
- Part paid account - patient has paid a contribution toward the settlement of the account.
- Unpaid account - account has not been paid.
Following full account payment by your patient by cash, EFTPOS, credit card or cheque, you simply swipe your patient's Medicare card and their rebate is paid directly into their bank account almost immediately.
