Medicare Configuration - Uploading Certificates
This Medicare Configuration guide will show you how to upload your Medicare Sites Certificates into MediRecords.
Prerequisites:
- Your Medicare Certificate files
- (fac_encrypt.p12
- fac_sign.p12)
- PIC (Personal Identification Code) for above Medicare Certificates
NOTE: If you no longer have access to these certificates, contact Medicare directly on 1800 700 199 and request your PKI certificates to be re-issued. These certificates are a requirement and we cannot use the certificates loaded onto your server.
To upload your certificates, navigate to the top of the page and click More to reveal a drop-down list.
