Patients in aged care homes will see a $7.60 boost to their rebates for GP care this week, but a big cut looms on the horizon.
From 1 March, GPs will be able to bill Medicare for a $55 call-out fee when they make a nursing home visit, followed by new items for each patient equivalent in value to the MBS items for standard consultations.
