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 your practice location/s to be able to:

Submit claims for Medicare, bulk bill and DVA, and ECLIPSE
Request access to MediSecure to create electronic prescriptions (eScripts)

After you have requested 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.
