Medicare Easyclaim Transaction Status

The following information describes the various Medicare Easyclaim Transaction status, and how to deal with them, where applicable. See Viewing Medicare Easyclaim Records for instructions on how to view these status definitions.

Note:

Bulk Bill claims via Medicare Easyclaim are handled as single transactions, although displayed as a 'batch' within Bluechip. This will be a change to the current process that Medicare Online claim users are familiar with.

Bulk Bill claims will be deposited in a lump sum, into the accounts you have set up with Medicare.
