SUMMARY:Upcoming changes to chronic disease management items
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpdate: The Department of Health and Aged Care (DoHAC) has advised that the planned changes to the MBS items have been postponed until 1 July 2025. Originally scheduled to commence on November 1 2024\, the additional time will support practices and providers\, including GPs and allied health providers\, to be ready for the changes to these important services. Information about the changes to the chronic disease management framework and the amended timeframe can be found on DoHAC’s website. As a result of this decision\, the webinar will be postponed. We will reschedule this event next year in advance of the new implementation date for the changes. \n\n\n\nRACGP are holding a webinar in October about the upcoming changes to chronic disease management items. This webinar will be very timely ahead of the changes commencing (pending passage of legislation) from 1 November. All General Practices\, GPs\, Practice Managers and other Practice staff are encouraged to attend. \n\n\n\nA revised framework for chronic disease management will commence on 1 November 2024. These changes\, which were announced in the 2023-24 Budget\, reflect the recommendation of the MBS Review Taskforce. \n\n\n\nKey changes include: \n\n\n\n\nReplacing GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements with a single GP Chronic Condition Management Plan.\n\n\n\nRemoval of the requirement to consult with at least two collaborating providers\, as described under the current Team Care Arrangement.\n\n\n\nProviding for practice nurses\, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners and Aboriginal heath workers to assist with the preparation and review of plans.\n\n\n\nSupporting continuity of care by requiring patients registered through MyMedicare to access plans and reviews through the practice where they are registered.\n\n\n\nEqualising the fees for development and review of a plan to support ongoing reviews.\n\n\n\nMoving to referral letters for referrals to allied health services.\n\n\n\nA two year transition period for existing patients with a GP Management Plan and/or Team Care Arrangement.\n\n\n\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nUtilise referral letters to provide relevant clinical information to allied health professionals.\n\n\n\nIdentify new MBS item numbers for chronic condition management and when to bill these.\n\n\n\nImplement arrangements for other healthcare professionals to assist with the preparation and review of GP chronic condition management plans.\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nImogen Colton – Director of the General Practice Section in the MBS Policy and Review Branch at the Department of Health and Aged Care\n\n\n\nLouise Riley – Assistant Secretary of the MBS Policy and Review Branch of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care
