PracSuite integrates with both Tyro Health Online and Tyro Health EFTPOS which allow you to submit Medicare claims. Continue reading below for an overview of some key differences between each of these solutions.
Tyro Health Online
Medicare and DVA claiming via Tyro Health Online is referred to as Online Claiming. The entire process is completed virtually within PracSuite in your web browser. Please note that Tyro Health Online charges per claim. Further information regarding Tyro Health Online pricing can be found here.
You can submit the following types of claims:
Medicare Bulk Bill Claim
No gap is charged to the patient
The rebate is paid back to the practice
Once the claim is approved by Medicare, the corresponding invoice in PracSuite will be automatically paid off
You can report on declined claims directly in PracSuite
Medicare Patient Claim
Accept full payment via any payment method
The rebate is paid into the patient's bank account within 1-2 business days.
DVA Claim
When the rebate is paid back to the practice, the corresponding invoice in PracSuite will be automatically paid off.
You can report on declined claims directly in PracSuite.
Tyro Health EFTPOS
Medicare claims via a physical Tyro EFTPOS terminal are referred to as Easyclaim. DVA claiming is not possible via the Tyro Terminal.
Medicare Bulk Bill Claim
No gap is charged to the patient
The rebate is paid back to the practice
Once the claim is approved by Medicare, you must manually pay off the corresponding invoice in PracSuite
No reporting on claim status (approved/declined) is available within PracSuite
Medicare Patient Claim
Full payment is taken upfront
The rebate must be paid back to a savings/debit card immediately after processing the Medicare claim.
If the patient doesn't have a savings/debit card, they cannot receive the rebate. In this case, you will generally need to provide the patient with a copy of their receipt so that they can claim manually via the Medicare app.
DVA Claim
DVA claiming via Tyro EFTPOS is not available. This type of claim can only be completed via the Tyro Health Online integration.
