Health Fund Registration & Resubmission Guide

Registration - overview

Providers are required to register with each Health Fund to be eligible to claim the higher Health Fund rebate for inpatient service claims processed through ECLIPSE.
ECLIPSE is an integrated electronic billing system where the money is paid directly to the doctor.
ECLIPSE is integrated with your Practice Management Software (PMS)
Claiming options are:

  1. No Gap (Agreement)
  2. Known Gap (Scheme)
  3. Patient Claim

https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/organisations/health-professionals/services/medicare/simpli
fied-billing-and-eclipse

If you choose not to register with health funds, your options are limited:

  1. To accept full payment for surgery before or after surgery OR
  2. To process the unpaid account as a Patient Claim and wait the 4 - 8 weeks for the patient to return the cheques from Medicare and the Health Fund to you. This is known as a Pay Doctor Via Claimant (PDVC) cheque.
    The higher rebate will not be available to you and patients will have a higher out of pocket expense.

Resubmission - overview

When a claim is rejected through ECLIPSE, providers are required to resubmit an amended claim to receive payment. Fully rejected claims can be resubmitted via ECLIPSE, whereas partially rejected claims need to be submitted manually directly to the Health Fund. Reasons for rejecting claims may vary, so if the reason is unclear it is best to contact the Health Fund for further details.
Some Health Funds require the inclusion of the ECLIPSE adjustment claim form ( )

Medicare - PRODA

Providers must have a Medicare Provider Number to be able to register with Health Funds.
It is also recommended providers apply for a PRODA account. Practice Managers and admin staff can apply for their own PRODA account then request delegations from their provider. This can assist them in managing online claims and new provider numbers, online bulk bill claims and
outpatient claims.

Fee Schedules - overview

Most Practice Management Software has the Health Fund Fee Schedules integrated and should be available for download.

Resubmission

Consider setting up a template in your software to avoid filling the provider and practice details each time you need it.

Health Fund Groups

Groups or Alliances include a number of Health Funds under the one representative body.
Providers register with the Group, who then distribute their information out to all their associated Health Funds. This streamlines the registration process making it easier for providers to reach all Health Funds.

It is important to remember that NIB does not allow gaps to be charged for their members for inpatient services. All claims must be processed as a NO GAP claim.

If the NIB rebate amount is not an acceptable amount for the procedure, your options are limited to:

Providing a quote and accepting the FULL payment for the procedure. The claim will need to be processed as a fully paid Patient Claim via ECLIPSE and the patient receives the inpatient rebate from Medicare and up to the schedule fee from the Health Fund.

Providing a quote and accepting the GAP payment for the procedure. The claim will need to be processed as an unpaid Patient Claim via ECLIPSE and the patient receives a cheque for the inpatient rebate from Medicare and a cheque for up to the schedule fee from the Health Fund. The practice will need to wait for the patient to return the cheques and there is no way to receive the money electronically or if the cheques ARE NOT given to the practice.
