Healthcare ERP for Australia
Healthcare in Australia operates through the Medicare system, which provides universal public health coverage funded by the Medicare levy. Private health insurance supplements Medicare, and the Private Health Insurance Act 2007 governs fund operations. Healthcare providers bill Medicare through the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) for medical services and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for subsidized medications. Each MBS item has a schedule fee, and providers may bulk-bill (accepting the Medicare benefit as full payment) or charge above the schedule fee with the patient paying the gap.
Healthcare in Australia
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the National Boards regulate all registered health professionals under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. Continuing professional development requirements, criminal history checks, and recency of practice standards apply to all practitioners. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission regulates aged care providers under the Aged Care Act 1997 and the new Support at Home program. Hospital accreditation follows the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards administered by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
Healthcare GST treatment is largely GST-free for medical services but taxable for some allied health services, cosmetic procedures, and healthcare products. The complexity of determining GST-free status for health services requires understanding of the relevant ATO rulings and the connection between the service and the treatment of a patient. Private health insurance claims follow specific data formats for electronic processing.
Yukti provides Australian healthcare organizations with Medicare MBS billing including bulk-billing and patient gap payment processing. PBS dispensing management handles pharmaceutical benefits with patient co-payment calculations and safety net tracking. AHPRA registration management monitors professional credential renewal dates and CPD compliance for all registered staff. The aged care module supports the Aged Care Quality Standards with documentation mapped to the eight quality standards. GST handling applies the correct treatment across GST-free medical services, taxable procedures, and mixed-supply scenarios. Payroll processes the Health Professionals and Support Services Award with penalty rate calculations, superannuation contributions, and salary packaging for eligible health workers. Financial reporting follows AASB with BAS preparation for the mixed GST treatment common in healthcare.
