Description:
The MBS Review Taskforce recommends implementing all MBS review recommendations made to date, and makes further key recommendations centred on:
- embedding a consumer-centric focus in the MBS and in any future changes
- improving monitoring, so data and research can be used to support practitioners in delivering care and underpin future changes to the MBS
- rebalancing healthcare financing from near-exclusive reliance on ‘fee-for-service’ to complementing with ‘block’ and ‘blended’ payments in order to support more clinically appropriate modes of patient care
- reviewing continuously to assure the patient and community that safe, high-quality and high-value care is provided by the MBS.
We have published all the taskforce's reports to government in our collection: MBS Review – Final taskforce reports, findings and recommendations.
These documents show the almost 1,400 recommendations that the taskforce provided to the Australian Government for its consideration and response.
