ProMBS Workshops

WHAT IS PROMBS?

This event is more than just an intensive workshop. It’s a learning package with reinforcing activities and follow-up cases, to ensure you maximise the benefits you receive. We bring high quality education to this neglected area of professional development. By reducing the pressure to turn patients over quickly, we provide doctors (and practices) the time to deliver high quality care for patients, through sustainable and safe billing practices.

ProMBS is accredited for CPD points with both ACRRM and RACGP.

Learn with your peers, and share the secret knowledge that is hidden in the MBS Schedule. Dozens of case scenarios will be detailed, each dealing with a specific learning outcome. If you thought there must be more to Medicare billing than a cheat sheet, then ProMBS is for you. Appropriate, accurate billing will allow you to deliver quality healthcare, whilst freeing you up to spend your time and expertise where it is needed most – with patients.

WHO IS IT FOR?

ProMBS is perfect for:

  • New GPs who want to understand the MBS.
  • GPs from overseas who would like to become familiar with MBS billings.
  • Experienced GPs who want to refresh and bolster their knowledge.
  • Practice Managers who are looking to improve their practice’s billings.
  • Both VR and non-VR GPs.

ProMBS Example Scenario

The ProMBS workshop and follow-up materials include over 70 cases to help illustrate how to get the best result out of your billings. Here is a sample.

Sean

Sean is 43 years old. He has been coming to your practice for the last 18 months. He's currently out of work, and has been struggling with chronic back pain (as the result of an injury he sustained whilst in the army reserve, 15 years ago). He is on several medications for pain, and his control is suboptimal. He sees a physiotherapist and a pain physician, but his mood has recently deteriorated. You feel you would like to spend some more time talking about his overall health than can be allocated in a standard consultation.

What options exist to do this through Medicare?

Long consultation Item 36 $71.70
