Adding Service Item Text when Recording a Visit

Under certain circumstances, health professionals are required to provide additional information on an account so that a service can be assessed by Medicare. It is important to ensure electronic claims are submitted using the appropriate indicators and fields, where applicable, to minimise the chance of claim rejections.

The following information should help you to reduce the number of claim rejections.

Medicare Australia's defined Service Text options that can be used for Online Claiming to set these indicators are:

  • Not Normal Aftercare
  • Not Duplicate Service
  • Multiple Procedure Override
  • Self Deemed
  • Not For Comparison
  • Separate Sites
  • Not Related
