If it is a bulk billed appointment make sure you check the box

To process a Medicare claimable appointment, follow these steps:

Make sure the patient details are correct
Enter the patient Medicare care details
Click VERIFY MEDICARE DETAILS
Select THE PATIENT as the claimant of the MBS benefit
Enter the REFERRAL DETAILS (of the GP or specialist) - Provider number, issue date
