Post-assignment (PDF)

View as Markdown
What does the patient sign after a bulk-billed service?

This endpoint produces it: the post-assignment Assignment of Benefit form as a PDF, one signable page for each medical event, from the claim you already build.

Returns application/pdf: a printable Medicare bulk bill post-assignment Assignment of Benefit agreement: the form a patient signs after the service.

For what post-assignment is and when to use it instead of pre-assignment, see the Post-assignment guide.

The body is the bulk bill claim you already build (General, Specialist, or Pathology), passed unchanged, plus serviceProviderName (a claim carries only the provider number) and an optional per-event assignorIsPatient. RebateRight renders one signable page per medical event; it does not lodge the claim, call Services Australia, or revalidate claim fields.

How the form is chosen

The assignor’s statement and the service-date label follow the service stream, derived per medical event from the claim’s serviceTypeCode and the event’s referral.typeCode:

serviceTypeCodereferral.typeCodeForm
PanyPathology
SDDiagnostic imaging
Sany otherGeneral

Request

Same shape as a bulk bill claim payload. Only fields that affect the rendered PDF are described here; for everything else, see the bulk bill claim endpoints.

serviceProviderNamestringRequired

Servicing provider's name, printed under Details of the professional. A bulk bill claim carries only the provider number, so the name is supplied here at the root, and claim stays unchanged.
