Breaking news: Federal Government shelves its MBS care plan reforms
The changes will be delayed until July next year.
The Federal Government has apparently shelved until next year its plan to scrap the $130 MBS item for team care arrangements and equalise the rebates for writing and reviewing care plans.
The changes, announced more than a year ago, had been intended to start on 1 November and would have probably meant a reduction in the $164 rebate for writing a care plan and an increase in the $82 rebate for reviewing it.
