Prepare and manage an EDTMP
Step 1. Check the requirements for an EDTMP.
We have information on:
- health professional eligibility
- patient eligibility
- billing rules
- review requirements
- referrals to allied health professionals.
Step 2. Provide the service if you and your patient are eligible.
Step 3. Refer your patient to appropriate allied health professionals for eating disorder treatment services.
Step 4. Bill EDTMP services using the correct Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) item number.
Use the MBS items online checker in HPOS to confirm eligibility and find the correct item number. You need your patient’s consent to access this information. You can also search for item numbers on MBS Online.
You can use HPOS to view your patient's care plan history. Patients can also view and track their care plan services through myGov.
You can call Medicare if you need help.
Step 5. Review the EDTMP to check progress against treatment goals, update the plan as needed and decide if further treatment is needed.
