Medicare Benefits Schedule (allied health)

The Medicare Benefits Schedule defines Australian Government-subsidised health services. Allied health professionals deliver services under specific MBS items — most commonly via Chronic Disease Management plans and Mental Health Care plans referred by a GP.

Each MBS item has eligibility rules (referral required, claim limits per calendar year, telehealth restrictions) and a published rebate. Allied health practices need billing rules that respect MBS item structure alongside DVA, private health, NDIS, and WorkSafe / TAC flows.

Practice software should treat Medicare as a first-class funder, not an integration on top of a generic CRM.
