Medicare Easyclaim is a system that allows patients to claim instant Medicare benefits at the practice, via your Tyro EFTPOS terminal while at the surgery. You can process Patient Claiming and Bulk Bill via Medicare Easyclaim using Bluechip's Integrated Easyclaim functionality. Detailed information on Medicare Easyclaim can be found from the Medicare Easyclaim web site at: http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/public/claims/easyclaim.jsp
Tyro and MedicalDirector developed the first integrated Medicare Easyclaim solution, which links practice software to the EFTPOS/Easyclaim terminal. Other systems currently offer standalone Medicare Easyclaim through conventional EFTPOS terminals. MedicalDirector and Tyro have worked closely with Medicare and the medical community to improve the EFTPOS-based Medicare Easyclaim solution and further capture the needs of the market. The Bluechip and Tyro Easyclaim solution streamlines the billing process and negates the need for re-keying information, saving practice staff valuable time.
Tyro and MedicalDirector have also been working with Medicare to produce a simple reconciliation method, especially for bulk billed claims. Bluechip allows practice staff to reconcile in a similar way to what Medicare Online now does.
