ANZ Bank to sign up to Medicare Easyclaim system
Minister for Human Services, Senator Joe Ludwig, has announced that the ANZ bank has signed on to deliver electronic Medicare claiming, through the Medicare Easyclaim system.
ANZ joins the Commonwealth Bank, NAB and Tyro as the fourth banking institution to join the system. This will give more than 70% of doctors with EFTPOS the opportunity to offer Medicare Easyclaim to their patients, once the system is rolled out.
“Electronic Medicare claiming, through either Medicare Easyclaim or the Internet-based Medicare Online, offers increased patient convenience and greater choice for medical practices,” Senator Ludwig said.
“On-the-spot Medicare claiming means patients can lodge their claim electronically after they pay the doctor. Their rebate is then deposited directly into their bank account.
