Tyro HealthPoint Claiming
Each Health Fund that a provider requires claims to be submitted for needs an entry in their user information. The details required are:
Health Fund – a line for each fund to be claimed for. But, the <ALL> option can be used if there are:
multiple Health Funds
and the Provider Number is the same for each one fund,
and these do not need to be listed out individually on any Invoices printed.
If the <ALL> option is selected, then any Health Fund without an individual listing will use the Provider Number in this line to process a Health Point claim. The Healthfund used for claiming is based on the client. Please note, this does NOT apply to Medicare Online Claiming. It MUST have a separate line and be specified as Medicare Online.
Location – If the provider number is the same for each location then the <ALL> location can be selected, otherwise a line for each Fund / Location combination is required.
Provider Number – Relevant provider number for the Fund / Location combination
Auth Group – only relevant for Medicare Online Claiming and not to be selected for Health Point claiming
Active – To be checked if the line is to be used

The red field indicates that a Provider ID has been entered against two different Auth Groups. This is not valid. A Provider ID can only be associated with one Auth Group.
The field Practitioner Provider Number can be insert into Letters. It is based on the Practitioner and Location combination for an appointment for the selected Client. Some caveats apply to using this field:
Only an active Provider Number for the relevant Location will be inserted
If Location = <ALL>, the field will insert this Provider Number if there is no provider number specified for the location
If the location is blank, no provider number will be inserted
If there is more than one provider number for a location, the first entry will be inserted
