Please note a variation to the Medicare items introduced this November.
Use item 2712 to REVIEW a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan prepared by you after 1st November 2011, to which new item 2700, 2701, 2715 or 2717 applies.
But use item 2719 to REVIEW a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan prepared by you prior to 1st November 2011, to which former item 2702 or 2710 applies.
For details of the review service, claiming frequency and fee, go to www.mbsonline.gov.au
NB: A claim for item 2712 will be rejected by Medicare if the plan was prepared under former item 2702 or 2710: practices should re-submit the claim under item 2719. See www.mgpn.com.au for more information.
