The GP MBS Education Workshop 2 Day Event - Perth

MBS Education for General Practice

The year 2024 has brought a myriad of changes to the MBS, and our BFD Education team is offering a comprehensive 2-day workshop on MBS compliance and billing education. Our goal is to facilitate quality, affordable and accessible healthcare for patients, while also ensuring the health, wellbeing and financial prosperity of practitioners.

This event, designed for both new GPs and experienced professionals, is packed with essential knowledge. It will lay the foundation for continuous Medicare compliance, enhance baseline earnings and open doors for multidisciplinary collaboration.

Following July 2024, our workshops will expand to cover new topics, including eating disorders, after-hours services and our highly popular combined billing strategies. We're excited to integrate AI into our sessions on documentation, care plans, and mental health treatment plans, ensuring GPs receive the most current information on MBS updates as of the workshop date.

We extend a warm invitation to practice managers and owners, as their participation is crucial in supporting clinicians through the Medicare billing process.
