RebateRight API Documentation

Secure, compliant, and streamlined integration with Medicare, DVA, AIR, and MBS
Open in Claude

The RebateRight API provides everything your software system needs to integrate with Medicare, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), and the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS), handling the complexity of government healthcare systems so you don’t have to.

Medicare Integration

Patient verification, eligibility checks, and claiming, all through a single, consistent API.

DVA Integration

Veteran verification and medical claiming for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

AIR Integration

Access the Australian Immunisation Register for vaccination records across all patient types.

MBS

The full Medicare Benefits Schedule: ~6,000 items with fees, rebates, and structured rules, updated automatically on the Services Australia release cycle.

Getting Started

1

Complete first-time setup

In the RebateRight app, open First-time setup and work through activation. You will finish with an API key and Minor ID (and any Services Australia steps your products require). If you only use the web app, Connection Settings stores those values; you do not send HTTP headers yourself.

Environments

Two environments are available. Use test while you build, validate, and demo with non-live patient data. Switch to production when you are ready to go live.
