Clinical Minor ID

In order to successfully process online services you use such as Eclipse, DVA and AIR, Medicare needs to identify your practice. It does this using a unique identifier known as a Minor ID.

Before you begin

Your unique Minor ID is issued to you by MedicalDirector.

About this task

Traditionally, a Minor ID was only required by practices running MedicalDirector Helix, Pracsoft, or Bluechip, as these applications include functionality for generating or receiving online claims and other such Medicare services. However, with the addition of AIR Web Services to MedicalDirector Clinical 4.2, a Minor ID is now also required by all sites running Clinical 4.2 or later.

Procedure

To record a minor ID:

From the Clinical main window, select Tools > Options > Practice Tab.
Locate the Minor ID field and record you Minor ID here.
Click Save to confirm.
