From 1 November 2023, a number of administrative changes will be made to a range of general practice MBS items. These changes are a result of consolidating the Health Insurance (Section 3C General Medical Services – Other Medical Practitioner) Determination 2018 into the Health Insurance (General Medical Services Table) Regulations 2021 (GMST).
There is no change to the policy intent, eligibility, or requirements of the affected items. However, there will be consequential drafting amendments to several item descriptors and regulatory clauses to facilitate rolling these items into a single regulatory instrument.
