The specialist rooms journey, step 2 of 6

The fee from your schedule, the item from the referral

When the patient is seen, the charge comes from the practice's own fee schedule by MBS item. The attendance item is suggested from the referral, and the visit shows what is stopping it from being claimed.

A visit in the HealthOS rooms diary: the attendance, the charge from the practice's fee schedule with the MBS item and schedule fee, and the Medicare or DVA claim to make.

What happens

Step by step

  1. The attendance item

    Initial or subsequent attendance is suggested from the referral.

  2. The practice's own fee

    The charge comes from the fee schedule by MBS item, loaded from MBS Online, with the schedule fee beside it.

  3. Several procedures

    The multiple operation rule sets the expected benefit when they are billed together.

  4. Ready, or not

    Before anything is lodged, the visit shows every reason it is not ready to claim.

What the next step gets

The claim starts from a visit that is already priced and checked.
