Each practice location and each doctor must register with Medicare Australia for Online Claiming. The Medicare Online website has all the details. This process takes about 2 weeks. A Location Certificate will be mailed on a CD, and a password will be sent a few days later. You need to complete some forms as described on the Register for online business page. Specifically ...

For each site sending claims...

•	Application for a Site Certificate (required for any site sending online claims - single doctor or group)

•	If you are a practice manager registering for a group you will need to complete a referee form (there are 3 different types).

To complete the forms you will need a unique Location ID that we provide. Medicare refers to this as the Minor Customer ID. Please contact us if we have not already sent this to you.

For each doctor sending claims...

•	Online Claiming Provider Agreement form

•	Online Claiming Practice Details form

•	Online Claiming Banking Details form

•	Optional - Application for an individual certificate (you can use these in Access Anaesthetics if you like, but don't need to.)

Direct links to these forms are provided on the Healthbase website. If you need help with this, don't contact us, contact the Medicare eBusiness Service Centre on 1800 700 199. They can assist you to complete the required forms and process them.
