Verify your Medicare Location ID

A Medicare Location ID allows Medicare to identify your practice location as a Halaxy software user.

You are required to have an active and verified Location ID for each practice location/s to be able to:

Submit claims for Medicare, bulk bill and DVA, and ECLIPSE
Request access to eRx to create electronic prescriptions (e-scripts)

After you have registered a Medicare Location ID and it has been activated, you must verify it before you can perform any of the actions listed above.

Note

Verifying a Medicare Location ID only needs to be performed once.

Verify a Medicare Location ID

A Location ID is verified by successfully verifying a patient's Medicare or DVA card details. (You can do this for any patient from the location who has Medicare or DVA card details entered in their profile.)

You can perform a quick verification in any of these areas:

Patient profile (Funding)
1. Go to the patient's profile and click the Funding tab.
2. Under the Claims and Referrals section, click the relevant funding body (Medicare or DVA) to expand it.
3. Click the minus circle icon next to the card number for the patient.
4. When the patient's details are verified, the icon changes to a plus circle icon.
Invoice
1. Open any invoice relating to the patient.
2. Click the minus circle icon next to the card number for the patient.
3. When the patient's details are verified, the icon changes to a plus circle icon.
Appointment
1. Open any appointment for the patient.
2. Click the minus circle icon next to the card number for the patient.
3. When the patient's details are verified, the icon changes to a plus circle icon.
