About this event
MBS for General Practice - 2022
The Medicare Benefits Schedule is core business for General Practitioners and has undergone significant changes over the past 24 months resulting in compliance issues and missed billing opportunities, Business for Doctors has been delivering MBS Education since 2017 and provides in-depth explanations and a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects of the Medicare Benefits Schedule.
The 2022 workshops are a “not to be missed” event for all General Practitioners, GP Registrars, Practice Owners, Practice Managers and Practice Nurses.
For those who have attended past workshops you will be provided with substantial new information on Telehealth and telephone consultations, updates on mental health and eating disorders, sexual health, smoking cessation and many new item numbers that can be used independently or in combination billing.
