Medicare Update
Another week, another MBS update with some important changes for you to be aware of!
We now see the cessation of the Covid-19 telehealth incentive items for 'vulnerable patient' scrapped from the MBS and the reduction of normal bulk billing incentive items to their pre Covid-19 amounts.
Practices are no longer mandated to bulk bill 'Covid-19 vulnerable' patients and can apply their normal billing policies for telehealth services. This means private billing practices need to consider how their systems may need adjustment to enable fee collection for telehealth services.
Remember that telehealth services generally can only be provided to by a patient's 'usual provider'
An updated telehealth item number cheat sheet is provided here.
