GPs should be allowed to charge for bandages and dressings given to patients in bulk-billed consultations, an MBS review committee says.
There have been long running demands from doctors to end the ban on charging for wound dressings used during bulk-billed consults, a ban that frequently results in practices losing money every time they provide wound care.
