The Practice Details Tab

In this section you can enter your practice details such as Address, Phone and Fax numbers and ABN.

Clinic Name

This is where you enter in the Name of your Clinic.

VSP Number

Vaccination Service Provider number.

ACN Number

If you are a registered Company then enter your ACN here.

ABN Number

If you practice as a solo practitioner or a partnership, you should select the Practice ABN radio button. If your practice is an associateship, you should select the Doctor's ABN radio button. Genie will then use the ABN number in each doctor's User Preferences on invoices.

NATA & IVF ID

Used in IVF clinics. Practice Type set to Obs/Gynae/IVF.

SCP ID

Required for practices who perform pathology services for which there is an associated MBS item number.  Leave this blank if not relevant.

Medicare Acct ID

Displays the account ID for Medicare.

DVA Acct ID

Displays the account ID for DVA.

Set Printing by User Name

If your computer name could be different each time you log in then tick this so that your printing preferences will be associated with your user name rather than with your computer name by default.

Use Full Screen Width for Appointments

This tells Genie whether or not to leave a 50-pixel width margin on the right-hand side of the screen.

On Macintosh, it's a good idea to select this, and then display the Dock on the right of the screen in this free space, rather than at the bottom of the screen. This can be setup from: Apple menu > Dock > Dock Preferences.

On Windows this feature is not relevant.

My server is hosted in a time zone x hrs ahead

This is used if your server is hosted in a different time zone. It will adjust the appointment book and service times appropriately.

No Default Site of Service on Invoices

Makes the users select a site of service when invoicing to avoid billing to the wrong provider number for a provider that has multiple sites of service.

Allow Invoices To Be Deleted

Only the Administrator can tick this option. If not ticked the Delete button in Account History will be greyed out.

Print Medicare Claim Forms

If you select this option Genie will ask if you want to print a claim form for the patient whenever you invoice a patient privately. These are the claim forms that the patient would usually fill in at their local Medicare office, NOT DB4 claim forms for bulk-billed patients. You will need to get a supply of these forms (A4/landscape) from your Medicare office. You would normally select the Only for Unpaid Accounts radio button. If the patient has fully paid the account they don't need a claim form.

Please ensure that you are using the current version of Medicare Claim Form.  The version on the bottom right hand side of the form is shown as: PC-1 (697.12.01.06).

Print Overseas Student Claim Forms

This option is for University Medical Centres. It prints the appropriate claim form for an invoice for overseas students.

GST Rate

Enter the GST rate to apply to items selected as GST applicable.
