PRODA
Your organisation needs no PRODA setup for RebateRight. Your requests reach Services Australia through RebateRight’s own PRODA organisation and business-to-business (B2B) device. RebateRight handles all PRODA setup and maintenance, including generating and registering Minor IDs, activating and managing the PRODA device and refreshing its keys. Each clinic that claims or uses the AIR still registers its Minor ID with Services Australia on the HW027 form, as Minor ID Setup sets out. Practitioners and practice staff need an individual PRODA account only to sign in to Health Professional Online Services (HPOS), for example to update bank details or manage provider numbers.
What is PRODA?
Provider Digital Access (PRODA) is Services Australia’s authentication system. RebateRight uses it to connect securely to Medicare, the AIR and other government services.
How It Works
Each request RebateRight sends to Medicare or the AIR carries an authentication token from PRODA. These tokens are:
- Cached and reused for about one hour
- Refreshed automatically when they expire
