Let GPs claim higher ECG rebates again: MBS Review

The MBS item for performing and reporting on a 12-lead ECG was restricted to non-GP specialists in 2020.

A second review of ECG rebates cuts has once again called on the Federal Government to let GPs claim better paid MBS items for performing and interpreting ECGs.

Changes in 2020 essentially cut ECG rebates from around $27 to $16, by restricting a better funded item for performing and reporting on a 12-lead ECG to non-GP specialists.
