Scenario 4 - Bulk Bill
If there is no response within approximately 30 seconds to the prompt on the Assign
benefits screen, the terminal will time-out.
When a time-out occurs in this scenario, the transaction will be cancelled and a ‘Cancelled
by Practitioner Receipt’ will be produced.
3.9 System Unavailability
Should the Medicare network become unavailable for a period of time, the terminal will
display a message when you attempt to next process a claim.
In this event, you may advise the claimant to lodge their claim through an alternative
channel.
