Payee Provider Numbers

A Payee Provider Number is required for each clinician wanting to bill for services, and this number is issued by Medicare. It is used by Medicare to identify which bank account to make payments into. In most circumstances, the clinician's Payee Provider Number matches their Provider Number i.e. most clinicians require that Medicare payments are made directly to their personal bank accounts, and as such, for simplicity, Medicare issues the same number. However, there may be circumstances where a clinician requires that payments are made into a different clinician's bank account, such as when a Locum provides services on behalf on another clinician. In this case, the Payee Provider Number used will be a different number.

A change of business practices (such as when the Business changes hands) does not require a change of Payee Provider Numbers.
A change of physical location does require that each billing clinician apply for a new Payee Provider Number to replace each number they used.
If you need to be issued a new Payee Provider Number, contact Medicare on 1800 700 199
Record a new Payee Provider Number if one is issued.
