I suspect the image of a signature is not legal. However the current

would ever condone this!).
In essence Medicare needs to chill out/change the standard that makes a
referral bona fide from the GP. A location cert should be adequate.

Jim,
Sending referrals electronically via Argus or other messaging software
requires that the message is digitally signed using your HeSA iKey. I
agree that this is a show stopper, but these are Medicare Australia's rules.
