MBS Education for General Practice Workshop 2 Day Event - Adelaide 2025

MBS Education for General Practice

In 2025, we're excited to introduce our team of 11 MBS Education Experts through a series of both in-person and online workshops. Join clinicians and specialists for an engaging 2-day workshop dedicated to MBS compliance and billing. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare quality, affordability, and accessibility for patients while ensuring the well-being and financial success of practitioners.

This event is tailored for both novice and experienced GPs, offering essential insights into maintaining continuous Medicare compliance, boosting baseline earnings, and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration. Our 2025 program includes pre-recorded videos that demonstrate the use of combination billing with practical, everyday examples. With the latest AI technology, we showcase the benefits of using AI tools during consultations to enhance your documentation and coding.

We warmly invite practice managers and owners to participate, highlighting their crucial role in supporting clinicians throughout the Medicare billing process.
