A recent legislation change means applications for recognition as a specialist or consultant physician no longer have a $30 application fee.
To bill and claim items in the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) for private patients you need to be a recognised specialist or consultant physician.
Make sure you check if you can apply for specialist or consultant physician recognition.
If you can apply, complete the Application for recognition as a Specialist or Consultant Physician form.
When you do this, you’ll need to return the form and supporting documents to us using the instructions on the form.
