MedAdvance offers patients an "in-invoice" option to pay only the gap payment and a small fee. MedAdvance advances the rebate amount and accepts repayment after the Medicare rebate is received by the patient.
MedAdvance patient benefit:
- Better access to healthcare and prevent financial related cancellations and reschedules.
- Access to payment options and finance for patients without a credit card.
- Reduced financial stress of cash needs for the 52% of Australians who live pay-to-pay.
- Promote timely preventive care and regular practitioner visits.
Used across all types of medical practice, MedAdvance benefits the almost a half a million Australians who decided not to see a practitioner each year as they could not afford it.
Zero Processing Fees
With the movement towards mixed and private billing, along with the expanded use of telemedicine, credit cards have become a larger part of the cost of providing quality healthcare. For some private clinics, the 2.2% they pay to process cards can be as much as 8% of their total clinic operating cost.
For all consultations and procedures with an item code:
- Zero Processing Fees.
- Zero Transaction Fees.
- Zero Monthly Fees.
- Zero Subscription Fees.
Regardless of if a patient uses our MedAdvance rebate advance or pays in full, if the item billed has a Medicare MBS item code, you pay no fees at all.

There are no subscription costs.
For all invoiced items that have a Medicare billing code, there is no costs at all to the clinic or practitioner. This is also the case for patients where they chose not to opt for the advance of the rebate amount.
For items that are invoiced which do not have a Medicare Billing Code MedAdvance charges 1.79% for those items only. An example of such items may be medical equipment, devices or aids.
MedAdvance works with wireless EFTPOS terminals, Tablets and iPad, and through a virtual terminal within practice management software.

If a patient pays in full in advance, is Bulk Billed, or is a DVA Billed patient, there is no difference at all in the cost to the patient.
When a patient chooses to have MedAdvance finance the rebate amount, the MedAdvance Fee is added to the Gap Fee amount. The fee varies depending on the consultation or procedure code, and is based on the amount financed by MedAdvance.
MedAdvance was designed to make things easy for clinic staff. Invoices can be sent by email, SMS or “pushed” to an iPad which explains both the invoice from the clinic and the available payment options for the patient. There is no need for your clinic team to spend a lot of time explaining the options.
