i claim at the doctors counter

That's what I know.  It is automatic at the doctor's surgery.  Don't have to sign anything.

I found out today too. I visited a Medicare office to change my surname and I registered my Bank Acc. number with them. Handy huh?

But always remember to check your bank account to ensure that the payment has been deposited.

not all doctors do it, the receptionist helped me fill out the original form - about a year ago. does make it so much easy

My local doctor has the facilities for your Medicare refund to go straight back into your bank account but the claim I did over the phone was for a specialist I saw who didn't have the technology for this.

At the time I audibly groaned when the specialists receptionist told me I'd have to take my invoice to Medicare.

Did you know that you can do it all online too....  so much easier.
