Easyclaim Package To Make Medicare Work Better For Patients
Following months of close consultation between Human Services Minister Senator Chris Ellison, Health Minister Tony Abbott and the AMA, the Government have announced a package to support medical practices in the transition to electronic Medicare claiming for patients.
Dr Capolingua said the package would assist to reimburse medical practices for the set up costs of installing the Easyclaim software and hardware and adapting their office management procedures, and make it easier for patients to claim their Medicare rebates.
“The AMA has been a strong supporter of the Medicare Easyclaim electronic claiming initiative ever since the idea was first floated,” Dr Capolingua said.
“Our members have been closely involved in the development and the trials of the system, and we have pointed out the benefits and the faults along the way.
“The AMA is pleased that the package announced today reflects AMA input to the development of a claiming system that will greatly benefit patients.
“There are still some concerns around the amount of time taken for each transaction and the system’s ability to fully integrate with existing software being used in medical practices, and these will need to be overcome if a widespread take-up of Easyclaim is to be achieved.
