Register for Medicare and DVA claiming

One Services Australia form (HW027) per provider and location registers you for both Medicare and DVA. Processed within 5 business days.

Medicare and DVA use the same registration. You fill in one Services Australia form (HW027) for each provider at each location, and that provider can then claim both Medicare rebates and DVA benefits through HaltH.

Before you start

  • The provider's Medicare provider number for the location.

  • The provider available to sign, on screen or on paper.

  • Whether the provider already claims Medicare or DVA through other software, such as HICAPS or Tyro Health. See step 3.

1. Open Medicare and DVA setup

Go to Connections and select Medicare & DVA. Providers can also start from Set up Medicare claiming on their Home checklist.

2. Select a location

Choose the location to register for Medicare and DVA.

3. Tell us about your current claiming software

You'll be asked whether you currently submit Medicare or DVA claims through another software.

If you answer yes: this form moves that provider number's Medicare and DVA claiming to HaltH, and your other software stops claiming with it. To keep using your other software as well, register an additional provider number for the same location and use that one with HaltH.

4. Select the provider and fill in the HW027

Choose the provider. HaltH pre-fills the Medicare Online Claiming Provider Agreement (HW027). Check every detail, especially the provider number, because a mistake delays approval.

5. Sign and submit

  • Sign digitally: the provider signs on screen with a trackpad, mouse or phone.

  • Download & sign by hand: download the pre-filled form, sign it, upload a scan or photo, and select Submit registration.

Sign the agreement

6. Wait for Services Australia

Services Australia processes registrations within 5 business days. Once approved, the provider can claim Medicare and DVA at that location. Have more providers or locations? Repeat these steps for each one.
