If you have HealthLink installed, but are not sure how to use it to send information, you can download brief guides from the HealthLink website or by calling the HealthLink Helpdesk on 1800 125 036 (option 1). Please note the following practitioners have recently installed the HealthLink Portal HLConnect. HLConnect is a web based portal for use by practitioners who use an EMR which is not capable of secure messaging services. Further details on HLConnect can be found on the HealthLink website. MD Users, please remember that you will need to search the MDX address book using the HLConnect facility ID of hmsweber for these practitioners. Brendan McGovern Redo Health REDOHLTH Don’t forget, you can always find the messaging address for SMD in the HealthLink Provider directory. For access to the directory please contact the HealthLink Helpdesk on 1800 125 036 (option 1) or email helpdesk@healthlink.net.

PIP eHealth incentive targets: What happens if you fall short? What happens will be dependent on the degree to which a practice has not met the upload requirement and whether it is eligible for an exemption from the requirements for circumstances beyond its control. Practices who experienced issues outside their control, which prevented them from meeting the requirements of the incentive, may qualify for an exemption and should contact the Department of Human Services on 1800 222 032 or pip@humanservices.gov.au to discuss. More information can be found in the following AMA Article or by contacting your local digital health officer at either our Kogarah (9330 9900) or Ashfield (9799 0933) office.
