1 November MBS files available

The 1 November 2011 MBS files are now available to download from http://www.health.gov.au/internet/mbsonline/publishing.nsf/Content/Downloads-201111.

Please note: Better Access to Psychiatrists, Psychologists and General Practitioners program - Four new time-tiered items (items 2700, 2701, 2715 and 2717) have been introduced to replace item 2702 and item 2710 for the development of a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan.

The schedule fee for the review consultation item 2712 and item 2713 has been reduced. Allied health services have been capped at ten services per patient per calendar year, and the provision for an additional six services under exceptional circumstances has been removed.

References to ‘Access to Allied Psychological Services’ (ATAPs) have been removed to provide greater clarification in the Medicare Benefits Schedule of a ‘relevant service’ under the Better Access program.
