Retrieve the health funds list
We recommend you first retrieve the list of participating health funds since you will need these to transmit claims. Click the <Update funds list> button on the Eclipse Menu. The retrieval process should take only a minute or two, although it has taken up to 10 minutes on occasions. If this completes successfully, you should see a list of participating health funds in the progress window.
Click the <Health funds list last updated> link to see the complete details. You can also view this data on the Funds page of any account (Eclipse Code drop down list, or click the <View fund info> button). See participating health funds for more details.
Revise the health fund Eclipse codes
You should revise the Eclipse Codes that have been added to the health funds in your addresses list. These determine which code will be used when you select a fund in the list. This is essential for correct claiming.
Run a patient verification check
Next, run the patient verification procedure on the Patient or Fund tab of any existing account which includes a Medicare and/or health fund membership number. You may need to reinsert the health fund name if the Eclipse code is currently blank.
Create your first online claim
Now that Eclipse is set up and working correctly, create your first online claim.
