Tyro announces aged care solution,  calls for integration partners ahead of major industry change

Leading payments company Tyro Payments has announced an integrated solution to support complex new claiming and payment processes coming into effect for aged care providers this July. 

On July 1, the Australian Government will launch the Support at Home program, a new in-home care framework that will replace existing programs and change funding models. The major industry change requires aged care providers to change their business systems to accommodate new payment and claiming protocols.  

Tyro’s integrated solution will allow aged care providers to seamlessly process Support at Home claims and associated gap payments from program participants. For software developers, these capabilities will be made available through Tyro’s existing toolkit of modern, secure, and certified APIs and software development kits (SDKs), enabling partners to be ready to support these new claiming and payment processes when they go live. 

Adrian Perillo, CEO of Tyro Health, said, “The incoming update to aged care funding from July presents a big change for Australian aged care providers, who will need to process claims and payments under an entirely new framework.” 

“Tyro’s Support at Home solution simplifies these new payments and claiming processes for our software partners, so that Australian aged care providers can comply with these changes without disruption to the care services they provide.” 

Tyro is calling for collaboration to ensure the aged care sector is ready when this change goes live.  

“With just over three months until the Support at Home program goes live, Tyro urges aged care providers and software developers to ensure they’re equipped to process payments and claiming. If you are a service provider or software developer, we encourage you to contact us today.”
