As a physiotherapist, you'll need the appropriate Medicare provider arrangements in place for each clinic you work from. This includes having access to PRODA and completing the required provider number and banking setup.
Work through the steps below as part of your onboarding. If you already have a PRODA account, you do not need to create another one. You can use your existing account to manage your provider details.
Step 1: Set Up or Access Your PRODA Account
Step 1: Set Up or Access Your PRODA Account
What is PRODA?
What is PRODA?
PRODA or Provider Digital Access, is the online authentication system used to securely access Australian Government health services, including HPOS.
If you don't already have an individual PRODA account, you'll need to register for one as part of your provider setup.
Before you start
When registering for PRODA, you'll need to verify your identity. It is helpful to have your identification documents ready before you begin. This may include documents such as your Medicare card, driver's licence and passport.
Make sure the personal details, including your name, are consistent across your identification documents, as discrepancies can delay the registration process.
Keep Your RA Number
Keep Your RA Number
Once your PRODA registration is successful, you'll receive a Registration Authority (RA) number. Keep this number somewhere secure and accessible. You may need it if you require assistance with your PRODA account in the future.
Step 2: Medicare Provider Numbers
Step 2: Medicare Provider Numbers
You'll need a Medicare provider number for each Symmetry clinic location where you will be practising.
Brenda will email you Medicare Provider Application form with most details prefilled. Please ensure you complete any unfilled sections, sign the document and return via reply email.
Brenda will then apply for your Provider Number on your behalf.
Already have provider numbers?
If you're moving from another practice or already have Medicare provider numbers, you'll still need to ensure the appropriate provider arrangements are in place for each Symmetry location where you'll be working.
If able could you please add Brenda Sellers (RA:1235390819) as a delegate on your PRODA account.
Step 3: Review Your Banking Details in PRODA
Step 3: Review Your Banking Details in PRODA
Once your provider number has been established, you may need to review and approve the banking details associated with it through PRODA.
Log in to PRODA and navigate to My Details → My Personal Details → My Banking. Locate the relevant provider number, select Review, check the banking details and approve them if they are correct.
