ECGs for patients in dramatic decline after GP rebate was cut to $16
The AMA wants MBS item 11714 to be open to GPs with a boosted rebate of $30.
The RACGP says the Federal Government should let GPs access a better paid MBS item for ECG tracing and recording “effective immediately” to close the four-year saga of funding cuts.
The AMA has gone further, saying the government should “urgently” boost MBS item 11714 from $23.50 to $30 when it restores GP access.
