Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 27 WORDS
Practice accounts officer

Mr Randhawa, thanks for coming in. Your Medicare claim for the eighty-six dollar consultation on 3 October was rejected, because we entered your surname two different ways.

SEGMENT 2 · PUNJABI · 27 WORDS
Patient

ਓਹ, ਇਹ ਤਾਂ ਗਲਤੀ ਹੋ ਗਈ। ਮੈਡਮ ਜੀ, ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਤਿੰਨ ਅਕਤੂਬਰ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰੇ ਛਿਆਸੀ ਡਾਲਰ ਉਸੇ ਦਿਨ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਸਨ। ਹੁਣ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ?

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 20 WORDS
Practice accounts officer

Yes. Our record says Randhawa, but your Medicare card says Randhava, with a V. Could I see the card, please?

SEGMENT 4 · PUNJABI · 25 WORDS
Patient

ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਇਹ ਮੇਰਾ ਕਾਰਡ ਹੈ। ਕਾਰਡ ਵਾਲੀ ਸਪੈਲਿੰਗ ਹੀ ਸਹੀ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਫ਼ਾਰਮ ਭਰਨ ਵੇਲੇ ਜਲਦੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਡਬਲਯੂ ਲਿਖ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਹੈ।

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 28 WORDS
Practice accounts officer

Thank you. The card is correct, so I'll change our record to match it and send the claim again. I can't promise Medicare will approve the rebate, though.

SEGMENT 6 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
Patient

ਠੀਕ ਹੈ ਜੀ। ਪਰ ਜੇ ਮੈਡੀਕੇਅਰ ਨੇ ਫਿਰ ਵੀ ਨਾ ਮੰਨਿਆ, ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਦੁਬਾਰਾ ਪੈਸੇ ਦੇਣੇ ਪੈਣਗੇ?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 29 WORDS
Practice accounts officer

You paid the account on the day, so you owe nothing more. If Medicare accepts the claim, the rebate goes to the bank account linked to your Medicare record.

SEGMENT 8 · PUNJABI · 22 WORDS
Patient

ਸਮਝ ਗਿਆ ਜੀ। ਪਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪੱਕਾ ਯਾਦ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣਾ ਬੈਂਕ ਖਾਤਾ ਉੱਥੇ ਪਾਇਆ ਸੀ ਜਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ। ਇਹ ਮੈਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਦੇਖਾਂ?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 29 WORDS
Practice accounts officer

You can check your bank details in your Medicare online account through myGov. If anything's wrong, Services Australia can help. We can't see or change those details from here.

SEGMENT 10 · PUNJABI · 22 WORDS
Patient

ਚੰਗਾ ਜੀ, ਮੈਂ ਅੱਜ ਸ਼ਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਈਗੌਵ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਪ ਦੇਖ ਲਵਾਂਗਾ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਲੇਮ ਕਦੋਂ ਦੁਬਾਰਾ ਭੇਜੋਗੇ? ਤੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਪਤਾ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਲੱਗੇਗਾ?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Practice accounts officer

I'll resubmit it this afternoon. If it's rejected again, we'll phone you on the mobile number in your file. Is that number still correct?

SEGMENT 12 · PUNJABI · 26 WORDS
Patient

ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਨੰਬਰ ਉਹੀ ਹੈ। ਜੇ ਮੈਂ ਕੰਮ 'ਤੇ ਹੋਇਆ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਸੇਜ ਛੱਡ ਦਿਓ, ਮੈਂ ਮੋੜਵਾਂ ਫ਼ੋਨ ਕਰ ਲਵਾਂਗਾ। ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਬਹੁਤ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ, ਮੈਡਮ ਜੀ।

Terms in this dialogue that cost marks

CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.

Practise it

Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
