Practice nurses say MBS care plan changes unlikely to trigger job losses
Medicare will reprioritise cash for writing care plans to fund reviews.
Medicare’s revamped care plan items have created anxiety for nurses but are unlikely to trigger job losses, the practice nurse association says.
On 1 July, the Federal Government will cut the $130.25 item for team care arrangements and introduce a single $156.55 item for writing or reviewing chronic disease care plans.
