Minor ID Setup
Do I need to do anything?
It depends on which RebateRight services you use:
No action required.
RebateRight handles all Minor ID registration and setup on your behalf. You can start integrating straight away.
Action required.
You need to notify Services Australia of your Minor ID by following the setup steps below before you can use these services.
What is a Minor ID?
A Minor ID (also known as a Location ID or Software Site ID) is a unique identifier issued to your organisation by RebateRight. Services Australia uses it to accurately identify where each request originates.
Each physical location of your business requires its own Minor ID. When you open a new site, you must request a new Minor ID from RebateRight before submitting claims for that location.
Setup Steps
Only follow these steps if you are using Claiming or AIR endpoints. For Patient Verification and Eligibility Check, RebateRight takes care of this for you.
Get your Minor ID
RebateRight will issue and provide your organisation with its unique Minor ID(s). Contact the RebateRight team at support@rebateright.com.au to request yours.
Complete the Form
Download and complete the HW027 form from Services Australia.
This form allows Services Australia to associate your organisation with the provided Minor ID(s).
- The HW027 form only needs to be completed once per organisation, not per practitioner.
- Alternatively, use the HW052 form to register up to six practitioners at the same time.
Submit the Form
Follow the submission instructions included in the form. Once Services Australia approves the form, your organisation will be able to use Claiming and AIR services through RebateRight.
Link Practitioners
For every practitioner who will be claiming:
- They must log in to PRODA and confirm their bank account details match your organisation’s bank account details.
- Then call Medicare eBusiness on 1800 700 199 and request that the Minor ID be linked to their provider number.
Alternatively, a representative from your organisation may call Medicare to link all provider numbers to the Minor ID/s.
The practitioner’s bank details in PRODA must match the organisation’s bank details. If they don’t match, that practitioner will be required to submit their own HW027 form.
