A GP who apparently copied and pasted the same text into different medical records has agreed to repay $160,000 in Medicare rebates

The GP admitted to inappropriately claiming level B and level C consultation items, antenatal attendances and skin cancer excisions by failing to meet the Medicare requirements, including those for record-keeping.
