A registration number given to a provider by the organisation that they’re registered with. Providers are generally registered with either Medicare or the ARHG (Australian Regional Health Group).

On your invoice, you’ll find the Provider Number near the provider’s name and address. It’ll generally be a mix of letters and numbers and can be up to eight digits long.

For online claims, providers are only registered with Medicare and the Provider Number will be seven digits followed by one letter.

For manual claims, some services don’t have registered providers. If you can’t find the Provider Number on your invoice, just leave the field blank.
