Eligibility Report (PDF)
Generates the PDF you hand the patient after an eligibility check: the printable Online Eligibility Check (OEC) Report — header, patient details, per-service rebate estimate, and the mandated disclaimer and privacy notice wording. Quote only — not for claiming.
Handing the patient a printed report is optional. A written estimate is encouraged informed-financial-consent practice, not an obligation. When you do hand one over, Services Australia prescribes this layout and wording — which is what this endpoint produces.
How it works
The live check happens in Eligibility Check:
run it first, then feed the per-item figures it returned (ItemScheduleFee, Benefit, an
explanation code) and the overall Reason into this request. This endpoint makes no Medicare
call of its own — it formats the result you already hold into the approved report.
Request body
The shape mirrors /CalculateRebate so the same payload can drive both calls with small additions. Identical
field names are reused (PascalCase) for patient and service fields. Three per-item fields
(ItemScheduleFee, Benefit, MedicareExplanationCode) are echoed from the /CalculateRebate response, and
two root fields (AccountReferenceId, Reason) are specific to the disclaimer.
Only MedicareItems (with at least one item) and each item’s ItemNumber are required. Missing optional fields
render as blank cells on the PDF.
Location on the report
The Location ID printed on the report is taken from the x-minor-id request header (the same header as
other RebateRight endpoints), not from the JSON body.
Response
On success the response body is application/pdf. The download is offered as MedicareEligibilityCheckReport.pdf.
Errors
Validation failures return HTTP 400 with a plain-text message describing the problem (not a JSON error envelope).
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
Date of service printed against every row on the report. ISO date YYYY-MM-DD.
Patient family name as it appears on the Medicare card. Printed in the patient-details section of the report.
Patient first given name as it appears on the Medicare card. Printed in the patient-details section of the report.
Patient's 10-digit Medicare card number.
Individual Reference Number (IRN) from the patient's Medicare card.
Caller-supplied reference identifying this OECW quote (e.g. invoice or visit id).
Outcome text printed under Outcome / Fund Explanation Text. Typically the Reason returned by /CalculateRebate.
