The independent Medicare Benefits Schedule Review Taskforce (the Taskforce) has been working since late 2015 to review the more than 5,700 items on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) to better align them with contemporary clinical evidence and practice, and improve health outcomes for patients. To date more than 70 clinical committees and working groups have reviewed items across the MBS through a clinician-led process involving more than 700 clinicians, consumers and health system experts, providing detailed advice to the Taskforce on how to improve the MBS.
Six draft reports, from the Cleft Dental Services Working Group, Consumer Panel, Ophthalmology Clinical Committee, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Clinical Committee, Paediatric Surgery Advisory Group and Psychiatry Clinical Committee, are now available for public consultation on the Department’s website. Consultation is open for sixteen weeks (until December 20) and interested parties are welcome to provide submissions by emailing MBSReviews@health.gov.au or contacting ASUM for ultrasound related topics.
