We have an old swiper which hasnt been used for 10 years. Havent kept
carbon forms for that long either. If pc was down we would wait. If
power goes out we have a backup Invoice book ready (we have used this a
few times over the years) but we enter these in as soon as we are
powered up.
Nursing Home and Home Visits use A4 pc printouts. (either BB or Private
- same system). Practices dont necessarily BulkBill nursing homes or
Home Visits either.

Can't get out of needing pt signature though - they need to sign
something:)
Oliver, Fee, etc.
Yes, you have to hold only the original signing copy, or a scan of it,
or let Medicare hold it for you, for two years for auditing purposes by
them.
The whole issue is who pays for the paper and ink?
If people do manual bulk-billing, they get a nice swipe-card device, and
bundles of three-part carbonised paper. They also get the same Medicare
rebate whether they do this or make Coles-Myer a bit richer instead.
One of the reluctances to moving to Online Claiming has been this
cost-shift.
By the way, Fee, I thought every practice had a swipe-card machine and
carbonised forms as back-up for when the system or a printer was down,
or for doing home and NH visits?
