Presented by: AGPA

Tuesday 9 August 2022

Since 2010 health costs have increased at about 5% per year. MBS funding has increased by about 0.5%. This has put significant pressure on Practice viability.

Many Practices that were traditionally bulk billing or mixed billing Practices have started or are considering moving away from their previous billing model.  We  asked four Practice owners to participate in a panel discussion to discuss how they approached the key components of the transition.

• Conversations with/ information for patients
• Conversations with and information and support for contract GPs
• Support for reception staff and practice managers
• Support for practice nurses and allied health team members
