Medicare Integration Updates
In relation to the essential Medicare Integration updates, we submitted our results for the Preliminary Testing to Medicare Services Australia. With basic production-mode transmissions to Medicare Services Australia, they verified that our Medicare functionality meets all of the security and data handling requirements.
Once we receive the specific test plan for our integration, we will be able to book the Integration testing with an allocated Product Integration Officer from Services Australia. This is the formal testing stage where our functionality will be thoroughly tested, reviewed, and upon satisfactory completion of all the test cases, our Medicare functionality becomes certified.
