Together we can build a better health system

Looking for obsolete item numbers?

If you have requested statistics for an old item number, it will be mapped to its current item number and presented as this in the report.

For example, item 65132 (test for the presence of antithrombin III deficiency...) was renumbered to item 65175 on the 1/11/2006. If you have requested item 65132 for the 2006/07 financial year, then the report will sum all 65132 and 65175 items in that period and report them as item 65175.

 If you have requested item 65132 for an earlier period (e.g. calendar 2004), the services will also be reported as their current equivalent item (ie. 65175). This is so that the item description can be looked up in the current MBS book or MBS online (maintained by the Department of Health and Ageing).
