A Bulk Bill claim does not require a payment, but the claimant must assign the benefit to the provider electronically during the claim. At this stage, the Pro Key does not support pre-consultation assignment of benefit, so the assignment must be completed during each claim.
If you do not have ‘Process claim’ or an option on your device for Medicare, please follow these steps to onboard for Medicare.
Standalone Medicare Easyclaim on the Tyro Health Pro Key is currently in pilot, and may not be available to all merchants.
For more information, please reach out to our support team.
