Easyclaim Package To Make Medicare Work Better For Patients
The Government will provide medical practices with 18 cents for every electronic Medicare transaction – for Easyclaim patient claims and bulk-billed services. The AMA and the Government agreed that this was a way to recognise work previously done by Medicare Australia would now be undertaken by medical practices.
There will also be a one-off payment to medical practices to assist them set up Easyclaim equipment and software in their practices - $750 for metropolitan practices and $1000 for rural practices.
Dr Capolingua said the AMA welcomes the package and looks forward to working with the Government in fine-tuning Easyclaim and encouraging national take-up of the system in readiness for its formal national implementation in March next year.
