MBS Primary Care Items
Medicare Health Assessments
The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) health assessment items represent a cross-section of the Australian Government's initiatives in the area of primary health care.
A medical practitioner can utilise an MBS health assessment item to undertake a more comprehensive assessment of a patient with complex care needs. Health assessments also permit the needs of specific groups (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, refugees and aged care residents) to be addressed in a targeted and culturally appropriate manner.
