Step 1 - Patient Details

Before you begin

A Patient's Medicare card details and Doctor's Referral must be recorded within the Patient Details window; for verification purposes, and to assist with the Patient Claim to Medicare.

Procedure

  1. Within Bluechip, open the patient's record. The Patient > Details window appears. Locate the Medicare section. Enter the patient's Medicare Card Number and Expiry Date. This will automatically generate a Ref number – modify it if necessary.

  2. Click

  3. If the Patient's name (as recorded in Bluechip) differs to that as recorded with Medicare, a prompt appears confirming the difference in name. If this occurs;
    • Click Yes to update the information in Bluechip with that on the card.
    • Click No to leave the name in MedicalDirector Bluechip as-is. This prompt will display for each verification.
  4. Otherwise, you will be prompted with a successful verification.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Ensure the Doctor's Referral is recorded in the Patient's record. Some Ramsay Departments do not require Referring Doctor details to submit the claim to Medicare; bypass this step.
