Overseas Students (Worldcare)

Genie has the ability to invoice directly to Worldcare Assist (OSHC Worldcare)or Medibank Private for overseas students. In the case of Worldcare Assist, batched invoices can be emailed directly from within Genie for simpler processing.

SETUP:

In Practice Preferences: (File > Practice Preferences)

Tick the 'Print Overseas Claim Forms' checkbox.

A new field will be made available in which to enter the code to denote overseas students e.g.“OS ”.

If you have an agreement with Worldcare Assist, enter the Provider Code which they have assigned to you.

In Account Holders: (Open > Account Holders)

Create a new Account Holder named 'OSHC Worldcare'. Note that the name must be exactly: OSHC Worldcare.

Tick the Batch Process Invoices checkbox.

If you don’t already have one, create a new Account Holder named 'Medibank Private'. Note that the name must be just: Medibank Private.

Tick the Batch Process Invoices checkbox, if you want these invoices to be batched.

In the Patient Record (Demographic)

Create a new Private fund named 'OSHC Worldcare' by clicking Add Fund... from the Private Fund drop-down menu.

Again, it must be just: OSHC Worldcare.

When you assign this fund to a patient, their Fee Type will automatically be marked as 'OS', or the code which you specified in Practice Preferences.

If their overseas fund is Medibank Private, you must manually enter 'OS' into their fee type.
