Medicare Benefits Schedule Import

Communicare is initially supplied with the MBS already loaded. Updated versions can be obtained from the Portal.

To update the MBS version that Communicare uses:
  1. In a browser, log on to the Portal with your username and password (register online if you do not have these).
  2. In the Upgrades and Release Details pane, click Download MBS. An archive with the XML file is downloaded to your computer. Extract the XML file to your computer.
  3. In Communicare, select File > Reference Tables > Medicare Benefits Schedule > Import MBS
  4. Follow the instructions to download the file and import into Communicare.
Note: If you are running in a Citrix client environment, directories mounted on a client device, including CD-ROM, DVD or a USB memory stick may not be available to users unless Citrix is configured for client drive mapping. Please refer to Citrix documentation or ask for their support to configure client drive mapping.
