Block-funding should be 40% of GP practice revenue, says govt review
The review panel has said joining MyMedicare should be mandatory for practices to access funding.
A review of GP incentive payments has stuck by its draft recommendations to replace the current practice and workforce incentives with a new “payment architecture”.
The final report, published on Tuesday, lays out a vision for 60% of general practice funding to come from fee-for-service, down from the current 90%.
It said each accredited GP practice should receive a new ‘baseline’ payment, calculated based on patient need, socioeconomic status and practice location.
This would give practices flexibility to provide “appropriate multidisciplinary care”, it said.
