Have you ever wondered why the Medicare Benefit Schedule is so complex? Wouldn’t it be simpler if every consult was billed as a 23?
How can all of these anonymous people on BFD forums claim to earn $4,000 a day and $500,000 a year? How could someone possibly bill $500 per hour but still bulk bill around 70% of their patients?
In this workshop, we will cover the complexities of the MBS and how they can be used to your patients’ advantage to reduce out-of-pocket costs while ensuring you are remunerated for the quality care you are providing.
We will also compare this with the hospital AR-DRG (Australian Refined – Diagnoses Related Groups). You’ll see real-world data from high-billing GPs about the numbers they use to ensure that complex patients are getting the rebates they require.
