There are two systems that we provide that Practice Management Systems (PMS) providers can use to test their Integrated Medicare Easyclaim development against:
- Tyro Integration Server Simulator.
- Tyro Test system.
Both of these systems are discussed in more detail on the Testing page.
Both of these systems are connected to a test Medicare Easyclaim system maintained by Medicare. To send test payloads through to the test Medicare Easyclaim system, Medicare have provided us with the following test patient card and provider details:

When a Fully Paid Medicare Easyclaim response is marked as APPROVED, this only means that we successfully submitted the claim to Medicare and received a response. It does not necessarily mean that the claim was approved or that the patient's bank account has been credited. To determine the outcome of the claim the medicareAcceptanceType attribute in the response should be determined as it will show the outcome of the claim. The possible values of medicareAcceptanceType are:
- PAID: The claim has been approved by Medicare and Tyro can go ahead with the refund.
- NAC: The claim has not been accepted and no benefit is payable.
- PEND: For “pended” patient claims where the claimant has not paid or only partially paid the accounts, Medicare Australia will issue a statement and a cheque made in favour of the Medical Practitioner where a benefit is payable, and forward to the claimant’s address recorded by Medicare Australia.
- PDVC: Medicare Australia will issue a statement and the Pay Doctor via Claimant (PDVC) cheque, which is mailed to the claimant's address recorded by Medicare Australia. This would be the case when a partly paid or an unpaid patient claim is submitted.
