I-scribe and Medow AI i complies with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act. Its systems are accredited for data security. All data is encrypted, securely and confidentially stored on servers located within Australia to meet local legal requirements.

I-scribe and Medow AI will not be used without your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. To find out more please visit https://i-scribe.com.au and https://www.medowhealth.ai

Consent To Assignment of Medicare Benefit

I understand that this practice is not a bulk-billing practice. Consultation and procedure fees are payable in accordance with the practice fee schedule. I understand that where my practitioner elects to bulk bill a Medicare service, I will be asked to assign my Medicare benefit to the practitioner for that specific service.

I authorise this practice to submit Medicare claims on my behalf and to receive, use and disclose information necessary for the purpose of processing Medicare claims and rebates.

Where a service is bulk billed, I assign my right to the Medicare benefit to the treating practitioner and authorise payment of the Medicare benefit directly to the practitioner. I understand that no separate Medicare benefit is payable to me for that service.

For "NO GAP fee" in hospital treatment, I agree to assign my right to the Medicare benefit to the treating practitioner or my private health insurance. This assignment enables patients to allow their private health insurer to receive and manage Medicare benefits on the behalf along with their private health insurance benefit.

The process for privately insured patients to assign their Medicare benefit is being modernised to help strengthen Medicare, reduce administrative burden and streamline simplified billing processes.

Should I not consent to the above, I agree to pay the total fee and claim Medicare and private health rebates myself.
