Mediclear Eftpos Terminals For Health Professionals

By Pete Gasterson

There is some great news on the Medicare front for health professionals and patients alike. Patients no longer need to lodge forms to make a claim. They simply need to do is swipe their Medicare card and their debit card through your Eftpos credit card terminal.

Australians are all aware of Medicare and making your Medicare claim after you visit the doctor. This usually involves going to a health professional, paying the bill and waiting for a cheque in the post. You can also visit a Medicare office to collect your cash refund. When you do this you are probably feeling like it is the last thing you want to do. Going back to bed is usually the priority.Wouldnt it be so much easier if the rebate entered your account the next day simply by having your Medicare card swiped at the practise?

MediClear is a quick and easy way to process Medicare rebates and payments. Using a standard EFTPOS terminal. There are no costs to the practitioner. Apart from the standard merchant costs involved with having an EFTPOS facility, there are no additional costs " either periodic or transactional " for the practitioner to use MediClear.

An EFTPOS Plus Ingenico terminal is required to use MediClear. If you are already a CBA merchant you may need to upgrade your existing terminal, however the Commonwealth Bank is already in the process of providing new terminals free of charge as part of an ongoing initiative.

We believe that by incorporating MediClear within your terminal you will improve your businesses cash flow. Benefit payments for bulk bill claims are usually paid into your bank account by Medicare the next working day

There is no need to collect the patients bank account details. All information required to facilitate the payment of the Medicare rebate into your patients bank account is contained in their EFTPOS card and that information is provided by swiping the card through the EFTPOS terminal.

In most cases rebates are normally paid into your account the next business day with instant confirmation. Mediclear provides instant verification and confirmation of a claimants concessional entitlements. Any valid cards are reported in real-time so you are advised of the issue on the spot.

Maybe you are a patient and are reading this? It would be a great idea to inform your Doctor. They are often extremely busy and may not have had the chance to look into this system. The other great news is that group pricing deals are available for many medical professional groups. The rates and offers are always highly competitive and comes with a terminal that will accept the Medicare card. - 32502
