Are fund details updated automatically?

No. Funds are not updated by AA staff in the Web Update process.

 

When the software is installed, a default list of health fund details is included in the Addresses lookup table. Because the table can be used to store any type of user-defined address, we decided to make the table entirely managed by the individual user. This was to prevent having custom data overwritten by updates from AA staff.

 

Consequently, if a new health fund is established, it is up to the individual user to add this to the lookup table if they wish to use it. This is a simple process, as follows:

 

1.Click Tools > Edit lookup tables > Addresses.
2.Click the <New> button and complete the details for the new fund.
3.Near the bottom, select the fee schedule to be used with the new fund.
4.Finally, select an Eclipse code, if required. If the fund is quite new, you may need to update the list of Eclipse codes using this procedure.
