RACGP ultimatum: Mark Butler must reveal new care plan rebates or shelve the changes
The government plans to equalise the rebates for writing and reviewing care plans.
The RACGP says the Federal Government must confirm the updated rebates for writing and reviewing GP care plans or delay its long-planned reforms until next year.
The government pledged back in 2023 to axe the $130 team care arrangement item and then make the rebates for reviewing a care plan the same as for creating it, boosting the financial incentives for patient follow-up.
