The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) currently contains more than 5700 items, is 903 pages long and outlines all Medicare item numbers for GPs, other medical specialists and other health practitioners.
Our MBS fee summary provides members with a quick and easy guide to the item numbers relevant to general practice. We update this widely used resource annually to reflect changes to the MBS.
To produce an updated MBS fee summary that meets your needs, we are calling for feedback and suggestions for the 2017 edition. We invite you to comment on the following areas:
- additions, removals or amendments to the items listed in the 2016 MBS fee summary
- additional content not previously included in the MBS fee summary (eg DVA rebates)
- format of the 2017 version (hard copy, electronic, etc)
- additional MBS resources (eg poster versions, one page reference sheet, etc)
- general feedback on the MBS fee summary (order, layout, etc)
Changes made to the MBS since the release of the 2016 version will be incorporated into this update, including updates to skin service and wrist and finger fracture items. Medicare’s 1 May 2017 updates will also be incorporated into this version before it is finalised if relevant to general practice.
