RebateRight API Documentation

Patient verification, eligibility checks, and claiming — all through a single, consistent API.
Access the Australian Immunisation Register for vaccination records across all patient types.
Query the complete catalogue of ~6,000 MBS items with descriptions, rebate values, and rules.
