We aim to provide documents in an accessible format. If you're having problems using a document with your accessibility tools, please contact us for help.
The ‘Private Health Insurance classification of MBS items 11 April 2022’ is derived from the MBS XML Data file ‘MBS-XML-220401’ released on 31 March 2022 and ‘MBS‑XML‑22011’ released on 7 April 2022.
The 31 March 2022 XML incorporates the 1 April 2022 changes, which includes one new item for Nuclear Medicine Services, two new items for BRCA1 and BRCA2 somatic or germline testing and a fee reduction for item 91792, which aligns the fee with the 1 March 2022 benefit changes to telehealth items.
The XML file released on 7 April 2022 incorporates the 11 April 2022 changes, which includes update to six items for pain management services (39110, 39111, 39116, 39117, 39118 and 39119).
Further information on changes to the MBS 1 April 2022 and 11 April 2022, including fact sheets and quick reference guides is available at MBS Online.
