Bulk Bill Processing Report
Retrieve a processing report for a Bulk Bill claim, detailing processing information (including changes and exception situations) for each medical event and associated service within the original claim.
📑 Response — status
The report summarises how the claim was assessed: totals at claim level, and per medical event and service (assessment codes, benefit and charge amounts, Medicare patient details as held when assessed).
If the patient’s Medicare details differ from what was submitted, the corrected values come back here, flagged with a patient status code (8023–8028). Reconcile against those before resubmitting.
🕑 When to retrieve
A claim’s report becomes available the day after lodgement. A report requested on the day you submit
returns REPORT_NOT_READY, so schedule a daily retrieval from the following day.
Reports can be retrieved for six months from the date the original claim was lodged, as many times as needed. Only the location that submitted the claim may request its report.
Malformed requests (for example an invalid correlationId) receive HTTP 400 — see the 400 response examples.
Authentication
Your Minor ID is three uppercase letters followed by five digits, such as MDE00001. Send the Minor ID exactly as issued. A malformed value gets a 400 with “The Minor ID is not valid.” on every endpoint.
Request
Transaction identifier from the successful Bulk Bill claim response; must match exactly what was returned when the claim was accepted. Format is urn:uuid: + Minor ID (8 characters) + 16 hexadecimal characters (33 characters total), for example urn:uuid:MDE00000ee97ff9fd17d4afc.
Payee provider from the original claim transmission; use the same values as on that claim.
Response
