Once you have sent your first online bulk bill or patient claim, you will be eligible for a grant payment from Medicare of $750 (metro) or $1000 (rural) as described here. There is only one payment for any practice location, not for each doctor at the practice location. Contact the Medicare eBusiness office on 1800 700 199.
