2 - IMC Reports and Processing

Understanding ECLIPSE Reports

Status Report

A status report provides the status for submitted transactions. It lets you know if the transaction has been validated and assessed, and whether a report is available. The response depends on the state and type of transmission.

You should request a status report before attempting to retrieve a report.

If you try to retrieve a report that isn’t ready you’ll get an empty report.

You can request the report or it can be provided in response to a submitted transaction. 

The Status of a report may be:

PROCESSING
READY
REPORTED

IMC Claim Processing Report

You can retrieve these reports at any time. You can request them more than once within 6 months of the claim.  

The presentation and structure of the report depends on the type of software your practice uses.

The status response will indicate a report is available. The response will look different depending on the transmission type.

For billing agent claims, you can only retrieve the report after the private health insurer pays their benefit.



ECLIPSE Remittance Advice Report

An ECLIPSE remittance advice (ERA) report includes payment information for unpaid IMCs that were submitted under these claim types:
  • AG - agreements
  • SC - approved gap cover schemes
  • MB - Billing Agent submitting claims to private health insurers and Medicare
  • MO - Billing Agent submitting claims only to Medicare

ERAs aren’t available for IMC patient claims (IMC PC) because the patient or claimant is responsible for the account.

The private health insurer will create an ERA when they deposit the EFT funds into your bank account.

If you have more than 1 payee submitting per location, you’ll get a remittance advice for each payee.

You can retrieve an ERA report at any time. You can request them more than once within six-months of the original request.

ERAs are only available if the private health insurer supports the ERA function.
