[10 min watch] Telehealth item numbers explained

In this 10-minute video, Matt Woollard (Chief Operations Officer, National Skin Cancer Centres) explains the new telehealth Medicare Benefits Scheme item numbers.

The introduction of these item numbers has been fast-tracked due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are now seeing a significant increase in the number of virtual consultations that would have traditionally been performed face-to-face.

Some of the topics covered in the video include:

  • What is telehealth?
  • What technologies can you use?
  • What are the MBS requirements for telehealth?
  • What are the item numbers?
  • Who can access the item numbers?
  • Bulk billing and private billing
  • Who is at risk of COVID-19?
  • What defines a short or standard consultation?
