As of 1 August 2022, there will be changes to how COVID-19 related claims are processed in indici. This will only apply to indici practices and only to COVID-19 related claiming. All other services and practices will remain unchanged. While the claiming process may not look much different at the practice end, there are some details we need you to be aware of. Claims will be processed and paid in CCR rather than through the current system.
The status of claims in indici will reflect the progress of the claim as follows.
Cases requiring more information will be held by the coordination team and we will notify you of these cases regularly. Your COVID-19 related claims will be included in your project remittance. You will still receive a remittance from Primary Options for any non-COVID-19 related services and any claims entered into the system prior to the changeover. Any queries regarding payment of COVID-19 related claims under the new system please contact claims@pinnacle.health.nz.
During the COVID-19 lockdown virtual consultations for POAC cases were funded. We are pleased to announce that this will be a permanent change.
