Medicare claims records now available online
For the first time, Australians can now enjoy the simplicity, convenience and security of accessing their Medicare claims history on the Medicare Australia website.
The Medicare Claims History Online service is a joint initiative of Medicare Australia and the Department of Health and Ageing and provides a simple and convenient way for people to check their Medicare claims.
The Minister for Human Services, Senator Joe Ludwig, said the availability of the new Medicare claims summary online was a significant step forward in the implementation of eHealth services to assist the Australian public.
People who wish to use the service need to register for online services at www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/online or at a Medicare office.
They will need to provide their Medicare card number, individual reference number (the number that identifies the order of those listed on the Medicare card) and date of birth.
Medicare Australia’s online services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
