Scenario 3: Full payment, electronically sent

Patient pays the invoice in full and the claim is sent electronically to Medicare Australia Patient Claiming

Reimbursement: After processing, the patient is electronically paid the claimable amount if they have first registered their details with Medicare Australia. Otherwise the patient will be reimbursed by Medicare cheque.

Notes:

The default setting for Patient Claiming in Bluechip is reimbursement by cheque. The practice should leave this setting even if the patient has registered their details. Medicare Australia will override this setting on processing and reimburse electronically if applicable.
Patients can only be reimbursed electronically if they have paid the invoice in full and have had their details registered with Medicare Australia.
If a patient has only made a part payment, a cheque (payee practitioner) is sent via the patient. The patient forwards this to the practice.
