nookal is popular with physiotherapy and rehab providers, but it does not include secure clinical messaging and charges per Medicare claim. coreplus includes secure messaging, built in claiming and comprehensive reporting, making it easier to coordinate care and manage daily operations across multiple practitioners.
coreplus provides HealthLink messaging so clinics can exchange clinical documents securely and efficiently. nookal does not support secure messaging, forcing clinics to rely on manual email and phone communication for referrals.
coreplus includes unlimited Medicare and DVA claiming without transaction charges. nookal applies approximately $0.30 AUD per claim, which increases costs for clinics processing regular Medicare activity e.g. at 100 invoice per month, per practitioner, you would pay $30 per practitioner/ month on top of the nookal monthly fee.
coreplus plan pricing overall does not included additional costs for integrations with medicare. Compared to nookal, this means you’re saving $0.30/ Invoice for all medicare claims submitted.
coreplus supports draft notes and controlled editing while maintaining audit history. nookal locks completed notes, which can make correcting minor errors or updating details more difficult for clinicians.
coreplus offers broader clinic, financial and operational reporting, giving teams clearer insight. nookal reports are more limited and less flexible for detailed analysis.
A cyber security breach is any incident where someone gains unauthorised access to systems or data. For example, malware or a hacker might exploit a weakness to view confidential information. Such breaches typically occur when a cybercriminal bypasses security defenses. coreplus reduces this risk by using secure architecture and continuous monitoring, but staying vigilant is still key. We advise using strong passwords and our provided security features so that bypassing your defenses becomes extremely difficult for attackers.
Human error is one of the leading causes of security issues. In today’s busy and complex work environments, it’s easy for practitioners or staff to slip up, perhaps by reusing a simple password, clicking a suspicious link, or accidentally sharing information with the wrong person. Without secure, convenient solutions in place, people might take unsafe shortcuts (like writing down passwords or emailing data to themselves) which can lead to breaches. coreplus helps by providing user-friendly security measures (like single sign-on and multi-factor authentication) to minimize the burden on you and your team. However, staying alert and following best practices is important: with the right habits, the risk of an incident caused by human error goes way down.
A data breach is a security incident in which sensitive information is accessed or disclosed without permission. Data breaches can harm your business and your clients in serious ways – from financial costs and operational disruption to reputational damage and loss of trust. Recovering from a major breach can be time-consuming and costly. coreplus is designed to prevent breaches with its strong security controls. By using coreplus and following recommended security steps, you significantly reduce the likelihood of exposing patient data. In the unlikely event of a serious breach, coreplus will work with you to respond promptly in line with regulations (including Australia’s Notifiable Data Breaches scheme) to mitigate harm. Our goal is to help your practice avoid breaches entirely, so you can focus on care without worry.
