After setting up the initial configuration, including registering providers with WorkCover QLD if they aren't already, practice staff can bill to 'WorkCover' from the Account Details or Consultation screen and Bp Premier will automatically send the invoice to WorkCover QLD.

Depending on how your practice manages WorkCover claims, you can set up WorkCover accounts in Bp Premier for practice locations (including just one location), or for one or more individual providers.

When you bill to 'WorkCover' and submit the invoice, if there is more than one WorkCover provider number associated with the billing location, Bp Premier will ask you which provider number you want to associate with the invoice.

Submit an electronic invoice to WorkCover QLD

Create an account as normal, such as finalising a consultation, or from the appointment book or Patient Billing History. The following examples show the Account Details screen, but the process is the same.

1. Select 'WorkCover' from the Bill to: field.



2. Enter a Claim No. and Accident Date for the claim. You must at least record an accident date.
3. Add items to the invoice as normal.
4. Regardless of whether you Pay Now, Print, Store, or Hold the invoice, Bp Premier will prompt if you want to send the invoice to WorkCover QLD.



5. Click Yes to send the invoice now, or No to not send the invoice.

If you would like to send the invoice later or to resend a sent invoice, go to the Patient Billing screen for the patient and select WorkCover from the Billed to drop down. From the list of results, select the WorkCover invoice you want to send, and click Adjust.



The Account details screen will appear. Select one of the following: Pay Now, Print, Store, or Hold. The prompt to send the invoice will appear again.

6. Bp Premier will determine which WorkCover provider number to associate with the invoice:
   • If the Provider selected has a P-number recorded, Bp Premier will default to that P-number.
   • If the selected Provider has no P-number recorded, the P-number recorded for the practice for the billing Location will be used.
7. If there are multiple practice P-numbers recorded for the billing location, Bp Premier will prompt which P-number you want to use for this invoice. For example, a practice may have different facilities that bill to WorkCover separately.



8. Select the WorkCover P-number to use and click OK. Bp Premier will attempt to connect to the WorkCover B2B gateway and upload the invoice, and advise on the success or failure of the upload.
9. If the upload was not successful, Bp Premier will alert with a message and ask if you want to try again. Click Yes to try again, or No to abandon trying to upload the invoice. If you click No, Bp Premier will continue with the payment handling option you selected (Pay, Print, Store, or Hold).

Invoice upload to WorkCover QLD is complete.
