What happens will be dependent on the degree to which a practice has not met the upload requirement and whether it is eligible for an exemption from the requirements for circumstances beyond its control. Practices who experienced issues outside their control, which prevented them from meeting the requirements of the incentive, may qualify for an exemption and should contact the Department of Human Services on 1800 222 032 or pip@humanservices.gov.au to discuss. More information can be found in the following AMA Article or contacting your local digital health officer at either our Kogarah or Ashfield office.
