Reminder: New positive FIT claiming process

From 1 October 2026, claims for positive FIT (faecal immunochemical test) results must be submitted using the new process, replacing the BPAC eReferral pathway.

What you need to know:

• the new process is available through your practice management system

• Medtech practices: complete and upload the updated form

• indici practices: information flows through automatically

• claims can only be submitted for eligible positive FIT results from 1 October 2026 onwards.

See claiming guidelines for your district: Taranaki, Lakes, Waikato, Tairawhiti

Please make sure practice staff are aware and using the updated process.
