GP builds AI that suggests the Medicare items that boost billings

MBSPro listens to consults and suggests relevant Medicare items to bill.

A GP has built an AI scribe that suggests Medicare items for GPs to claim in real time as it drafts medical notes based on consultation audio.

If a consultation narrows to asthma management, for example, the scribe — called MBSPro — highlights items linked to asthma, such as spirometry or care planning.

“Then, say the patient needs to get their vaccines updated … a simple consult for a puffer turns into possibly $400 in billings,” MBSPro founder Dr Casey Going told AusDoc.

However, he insisted MBSPro was not just about GPs making money.
