One of Medipass’ functionalities is to process Medicare claims by bulk-billing or client reimbursement (patient claim), without the need for a terminal. This is especially useful when a terminal is not accessible.

Setting up the Medipass integration is essential prior to processing any payments or claims via Medipass. Find the setup instructions here.
