You sure about that? I'm not at work today so I cannot check
but we use Online claiming for all our BB claims and AFAIK
nothing gets sent off unless the voucher is signed AND we
have to keep those vouchers - there was a discussion about
shredding these, etc not son long ago on this list T
I was talking about the non bulk billed claims - no signature is needed
for these.
If you are bulk billing, yes, the patient still has to sign the voucher
and the practice has to keep that signed voucher.

OK - in other words your patients pay the gap and you wait for them to
bring the cheque in?? Does that work in the city? We did this when I was
stil in rural SA but we had a captive audience (Only practice in town)
so I had very few cases where I had to wait for the 90 day rule to kick
in). You still need to print a copy of the transaction for the patient
don't you?
