Comcare has partnered with Tyro Health to introduce digital invoicing to make it easier for surgery claims. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enable and submit an invoice.
Enable Comcare digital invoicing
Before you start invoicing, you need to setup Comcare claiming in Tyro Health Online and specifically set-up the relevant Professional Category and Specialty - Surgery is under "Specialist Physician" Category". This will ensure that the relevant item codes will be shown.
The steps on how to enable Comcare digital invoicing are here. If you need to add or change a provider's details after you have set-up Comcare digital invoicing, you can click the 'Settings' button on the Comcare tile.

Comcare uses unique item codes for surgery and these differ from the MBS/AMA codes, they're as follows:
Item code | Description |

SPSGS | General Surgery |
SPSHS | Hand Surgery |
SPSN | Neurosurgery |
SPORT | Orthopedic Surgery |
SPSO | Otolaryngology |
SPSPR | Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery |

The description field is required, please ensure you insert any relevant details of the surgery - noting the MBS/AMA code is recommended, e.g. "Surgery for MBS Item 37030" or "Assist at Surgery AMA code EJ905".
