Assignment of Benefit (PDF)

Returns **`application/pdf`**: a printable Medicare bulk bill **Assignment of Benefit** agreement. ## Reuse your bulk bill claim payload The request body has the **same shape** as a bulk bill claim. Send the payload you just lodged with **Bulk Bill Claim — General**, **— Specialist**, or **— Pathology** (same sidebar section) — this endpoint renders it as a PDF instead of lodging it. For field semantics, validation rules, and constraints, see those endpoints; AoB does not revalidate claim fields. ### Post-assignment only The PDF always records **Assignment type: Post assignment**. RebateRight does **not** generate pre-assignment AoB PDFs through this endpoint. ### Format A minimal online-claiming layout aligned with **Services Australia** requirements for Medicare online claiming bulk bill assignment. The PDF uses the online title **MEDICARE - ONLINE CLAIMING BULK BILL ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFIT AGREEMENT**. This is **not** the **DB4** (Bulk Bill Assignment Advice) paper form used in traditional workflows. Depending on your process and pathology/request rules, you may still need to issue a DB4-style printed record — see current Services Australia bulk bill claiming guidance. ### PDF contents For each medical event: patient name; assignment details (date, post-assignment flag, whether the assignor is the patient); servicing professional; MBS items with the date column appropriate to the service stream (date of service, specimen collection, or imaging procedure); a **Statement of Assignor's Agreement** using the standard Services Australia text for general, pathology, or diagnostic imaging streams; and a signature line for the patient or assignor. ### Regulatory context From **1 July 2026**, patient consent software must support assignment of benefit, including pre- and post-assignment where applicable. Use this PDF to produce a clear post-assignment agreement record. Retain and present records as required by Services Australia and your clinical governance.
