Claiming Your Medicare Rebate
The quickest and easiest way to claim is at the Doctor's Surgery, straight after you pay. This is done electronically, either instantly onto your EFTPOS card using a cheque or savings account, or via Medicare Online.
If using Medicare Online and you have registered your bank details with Medicare, the rebate will be deposited back into your bank account, usually within ten business days.
If you have not registered your bank details with Medicare they will send you a letter explaining you have a claim and need to register with them.
To register or update your bank details visit the Medicare website.
For certain services, we will charge Medicare under your name, and in these cases a cheque will be sent to you but is addressed to your GP. You will need to forward this cheque to our Practice at your earliest convenience.
