Medicare Bulk Billing and Patient Claims

Process Medicare bulk bill and patient claims at the point of care via Medicare Easyclaim with Tyro Health EFTPOS machine, or digitally through Medicare Online with Tyro Health Online.

Assignment of Benefit?
We’ve got you.

Updated Assignment of Benefit (AoB) requirements will be coming into effect over the next 12 months.

If you’re using Tyro Health Medicare Easyclaim for bulk billing, you’re already set up to capture evidence of patient assignment through your integrated EFTPOS machine at the point of care, as part of your normal bulk billing workflow.

If you use Medicare Online, or provide telehealth services where verbal consent will no longer be accepted, we’ll have a solution available from 1 July 2026 to help you meet the new requirements.

Good to know

  • I’m already using Tyro Health Medicare Easyclaim. Do I need to do anything before July 1 2026?

    No. Tyro Health Medicare Easyclaim already captures AoB electronically for PMS-initiated bulk bill transactions at the point of care. Learn how Tyro Health supports the new AoB requirements.

  • Does my PMS need to support Medicare Easyclaim?

    At the moment, yes. Medicare Easyclaim works through an integrated PMS.
    View our PMS integrations directory
    to check your software. Later this year, compliant PMS-initiated and standalone Medicare Easyclaim bulk bill transactions will be available on the
    Tyro Health Pro Key.

  • What is Medicare bulk billing?

    Medicare bulk billing is when a healthcare provider bills Medicare directly and accepts the Medicare benefit as full payment for the service, so the patient usually has no out-of-pocket cost at the time of the visit.

  • What is Medicare Easyclaim?

    Medicare Easyclaim is a digital claiming channel that lets practices submit Medicare bulk bill and patient claims through an Easyclaim-enabled EFTPOS machine or an integrated practice management system (PMS).

  • What is Medicare Online?

    Medicare Online is a claims channel used by practices to lodge Medicare claims through their PMS or a connected online claiming workflow, like Tyro Health Online, including bulk bill claims.

  • Why is Assignment of Benefit important?

    Assignment of Benefit (AoB) is important because it is the patient’s agreement that allows Medicare to pay the provider directly for a bulk billed service.
