Electronic claiming for healthcare professionals

Streamline your medical billing with Australia's trusted electronic claiming software. Simple, secure, and always up to date.

Zero Installation

Everything you need is deployed from our secure server. All you need is a modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge or Opera. For best performance we recommend Chrome.

Always Up To Date

Each time you log in you get the latest edition of the software and schedules. There's nothing for you to update. Old schedules remain available for up to three years – the software uses the correct one for each fund based on date of service.

Live Multi-User Access

Invoice data can be added in advance from the convenience of your home or rooms. Providers can then edit details on the go, in theatre or at a home visit. Doctors and staff see the same data in real time – no need to synchronise back at the rooms.

Latest Medicare Features

We are certified to use Medicare Web Services. This allows for submission of claims via ECLIPSE to funds, as well as Medicare, BulkBill and streamlined paperless DVA. ECLIPSE Claims can be submitted up to 2 years from the date of service.
