Health care locations need to use software compatible with web services to access the following digital health channels:
- Medicare Online, including the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)
- Electronic Claim Lodgement and Information Processing Service Environment (ECLIPSE)
- Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) Online.
If you use an alternative channel and don’t use practice software to submit claims and data to us, you will not be impacted. Find out more about the alternative online services for health professionals.
To use these channels, you need to register your organisation for Provider Digital Access (PRODA) access.
