The Claim and Advance Payment Cycle - Information For The Transition Care Program 2006 (PDF 253 KB)
This document has been jointly developed by Medicare Australia and the Department of Health and Ageing. The aim of the document is to give Approved Providers and their subcontractors (transition care service providers) a general understanding of how monthly payments of the Australian Government subsidy are calculated, processed and paid.
Where an Approved Provider operates a transition care service through a subcontractor, the Approved Provider remains eligible for the subsidy. However, it is possible for an Approved Provider to have the subsidy paid directly to the subcontractor. For consistency, this document refers to Approved Providers rather than subcontractors or transition care service providers.
