RACGP open to restricting chronic disease MBS items to enrolled patients
The proposal was part of the AMA's budget wish-list.
The RACGP has offered “cautious” support for restricting Medicare items for chronic disease management to a patient’s usual GP.
As the Federal Government lays the groundwork for its patient enrolment scheme, the AMA has suggested that GPs should only be allowed to bill Medicare items 701, 721 or 732 for enrolled patients.
