Application for a Medicare provider number or prescriber number for allied health, other primary health care, and non-medical health professionals (HW093)
This form is used by allied health and non-medical health professionals to apply for Medicare provider numbers and prescriber numbers to claim under Medicare Benefits Scheme and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
When do you need this form?
You need this form when you are an allied health or non-medical health professional (like a physiotherapist, psychologist, dentist, or occupational therapist) who wants to start claiming Medicare benefits for services provided to patients. This form is also needed if you already have provider numbers but need additional ones for new practice locations.
What you'll need
- Professional registration certificate (for Ahpra registered professionals)
- Evidence of registration from professional association (for non-Ahpra registered professionals)
- Course completion certificate from recognised training organisation (for Aboriginal health workers)
- Practice location details where you will provide services
Where to send it
Submit the completed form to Services Australia through their processing centers. Alternatively, eligible professionals can apply online through Health Professional Online Services (HPOS) using a PRODA account instead of using this paper form.
