Integration test data
Use these synthetic patients and providers in the RebateRight test environment only, never in production. You may also use them in examples. Keep them apart from real patient data.
RebateRight sends every test request that needs Services Australia to Services Australia’s test environment, including verifications, eligibility checks, claims and AIR requests. RebateRight answers MBS lookups and Servicing Provider Eligibility from its own data. Outside Sydney business hours, Services Australia’s test environment can return An unexpected error has occurred. Please contact the Medicare eBusiness Service Centre… instead of a real verdict. If you see that text out of hours, retry during Sydney business hours before you look for a fault in your integration. The error is specific to the test environment. Production accepts claims around the clock, as Availability sets out.
Claiming in the test environment
The test environment accepts bulk bill and DVA claims. Medicare does not process a test bulk bill or DVA claim, so it never gets a processing report or a payment report.
Medicare
Use these Medicare card numbers, patients and provider numbers for bulk bill claims, patient claims, eligibility checks and related requests.

Providers for claiming
These are Services Australia’s test providers, for the endpoints that send requests to Medicare. Servicing Provider Eligibility reads the real provider directory in every environment, and so do RebateRight’s own checks on a provider’s specialty. In the real directory, these test numbers resolve to other specialties or are not listed.
