HealthShare signs Medibank up to Specialist gap fee platform

Originally appeared in Pulse IT, February, 2017.

HealthShare has signed up Australia’s largest health insurer to its digital health platform, allowing GPs to search within their clinical software for specialists who participate in Medibank’s GapCover arrangements.

HealthShare, best known to GPs for its patient information FactSheets by HealthShare, first launched the technology with HCF last December. It allows GPs to check whether a Specialist charges a gap fee or not and then use Referrals by HealthShare to automatically populate a referral.
