A GP registrar who sued the PSR after being investigated for hundreds of thousands of dollars in inappropriate Medicare claims has lost her lawsuit alleging its processes were unfair and breached her constitutional rights. 

Dr Anchita Karmakar originally went public back in 2017 to reveal she had been targeted by the watchdog for billing care plans and urgent after-hours attendances without clinical need. 

Two years later, the PSR ordered her to repay $350,000.

She was also reprimanded and banned for six months from claiming urgent after-hours consult items and banned for 12 months from claiming MBS care plans and team care arrangements.
