RoPP in Public Hospitals
21-Sep-2018
It is important for all Staff Specialists (Level 1-5) to understand their legal obligations when billing Medicare for services in public hospitals.
Medicare has a number of useful online resources to explain these obligations:
- Billing Medicare in public hospitals
- Claiming of referred consultation services under Medicare in public hospitals
- Pathology and diagnostic imaging services in public hospital emergency departments
- Claiming Medicare in public hospitals when exercising rights of private practice
- Services provided under rights of private practice at public hospital outpatient departments
If you have any questions, we encourage you to email Medicare directly: medicare.prov@humanservices.gov.au.
If you suspect wrongdoing, please contact your MDO for legal advice.
