Background
General practices across South Eastern NSW are under increasing financial and operational pressure. With many practices reporting challenges with Medicare billing and compliance requirements.
COORDINARE is actively supporting general practices to prepare for and implement key reforms, including the Expanded Bulk Billing Incentives (BBI), the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP), and upcoming MBS item changes. This support includes tailored resources, education, and hands-on practice assistance to help clinics navigate the evolving funding landscape - learn more here.
The Better Billing subscription complements these efforts by equipping practices with the billing knowledge and tools needed to maximise the benefits of these reforms and enhance financial sustainability.
EOI details
COORDINARE invites eligible general practices to apply for the Better Billing - MBS Education Grant Subscription. Each subscription provides six months of access to practical billing education and is designed for GPs, practice managers, nurses and administrative staff.
Subscriptions are allocated to individuals, with a maximum of two per practice. Participating practices only need to contribute $30, meaning the total contribution for a practice could be up to only $60, while COORDINARE invests the remaining amount to ensure practices receive high-quality education and resources.
Note* contribution from Participating practices will be paid directly to Better Billing.
