Changing Medicare Online Registration (already claiming)
Clients moving from another product to CareRight and already submitting Medicare Online Claims.
If you are currently claiming via ECLIPSE (Medicare online claiming channel) and have an existing site certificate, then please read this section.
As you already have a site certificate and are claiming electronically, we need the following:
- We need to download your Medicare certificate (Medicare issued this certificate onto a CD).
- We need your PIC code. This is the password for the CD certificate.
*Please contact Medicare on 1800 700 199 if you can't locate the CD certificate or PIC.
Please put the CD in a machine that we have remote access to and let us know. Please scan and email your PIC code paperwork to info@clintel.com.au
- You need to notify Medicare that you are changing to a new software provider. You will be required to complete the forms and return to them, please contact them on 1800 700 199 to discuss.
When completing the Medicare forms, a Location ID (minor ID) will be required. Clintel will provide you with this information.
IHC claiming - Day Surgery/ Day Hospital
Part of the IHC process is done via a partner of our eHealthswise (eHealthswise will provide Minor ID)
