i. Renew your NASH Certificate
If the Update eRx Certificates Utility has detected that your NASH certificate requires renewal, you will need to obtain a new one from Services Australia via HPOS.
Any questions regarding renewing the NASH certificate or using HPOS should be directed to Services Australia using the following details:
NASH Certificates |
HPOS |
---|---|
Phone: 1800 700 199 and select Option 1 Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm AWST Email: ebusiness@servicesaustralia.gov.au |
Phone: 132150 Select Option 6 Electronic Claiming or Health Professional Online Service (HPOS) Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm AWST |
Your passphrase for the new certificate will be sent separately, to the email address or mobile phone number your practice has registered in your HPOS account.
ii. Import a new NASH certificate for the HI Service and My Health Record
If the Update eRx Certificates Utility has detected that the NASH certificate used for the My Health Record or HI Service needs to be renewed, or if it states, Not Found, you will need to renew the NASH certificate and import it into Bp Premier.
Select Setup > Configuration > General and follow the instructions in this Knowledge Base article. Browse and select the renewed certificate you received from Services Australia.
When importing or renewing the NASH certificate, if you only have a single HPI-O for the practice then the NASH certificate should always be imported for the 'Default' location. If you have multiple locations with different HPI-O numbers then a NASH can be imported for each location. However one NASH certificate still needs to be imported for the 'Default' location as this certificate will be used for the nightly check on whether a patient has a My Health Record.
The certificate chosen for the 'Default' location can be any NASH certificate as long as it matches the HPI-O entered under Setup > Practice details > Change.
NOTE Ensure the updated NASH certificate has been imported as the default in the Bp Certificate Import tool as the utility will perform the update using this certificate.
iii. Import a new NASH certificate for eRx Script Exchange
Once you have renewed your NASH certificate and imported the new certificate into Bp Premier for My Health Record and the HI Service, you must re-run the Update eRx Certificates utility on the database server.
The Update eRx Certificates utility will check the NASH certificate's expiration date, and you should receive the Update Required response; complete the instructions to update the NASH certificate for the eRx Script Exchange.
