College calls for compromise on ECG funding cuts
The RACGP has suggested GPs should get access to an item for tracing and writing a clinical note
The RACGP has called for a government compromise on cuts to Medicare funding for ECGs, suggesting GPs should have access to an additional item for performing a trace and writing a clinical note on the findings.
Last August, the Federal Government sparked anger across the specialty after banning GPs from claiming item 11700 for tracing and reporting a 12-lead electrocardiography.
