8.1 Paid Patient claims
A Paid Patient claim is in respect of an account of the medical practitioner that the claimant
has fully paid.
For this patient claim type, where Medicare Australia assesses that a Medicare rebate is
payable, the Medicare rebate will be paid to the claimant.
Follow these steps when the claimant has paid their account in full.
NOTE: A Medicare transaction can be initiated by swiping a patient’s Medicare card. In this case,
commence at the MEDICARE EASYCLAIM screen.
