AUSTRALIA Post has confirmed
it will submit an Expression of
Interest (EOI) for the Department
of Health’s call for the provision of
claims and payments for Medicare
and the Pharmaceutical Benefits
Scheme (PD 08 Aug).
As first reported by the Australian
Financial Review, Australia Post
ceo Ahmed Fahour confirmed
the company would pitch at a
conference in Melbourne last week.
In a statement sent to PD,
Australia Post said it was a proven
trusted services provider and
had a demonstrated track record
delivering important services to the
community.
“We will be responding to the
expression of interest by the
Department of Health.”
The Minister of Health Peter
Dutton has said the call for EOIs
came as the Department sought to
simplify and streamline systems,
and that the Government was
committed to cutting red tape in
the health system.
He said current IT systems that
managed the payment processes
were dated.
