The PSR has reported its first cases of doctors repaying Medicare rebates after breaching the 30/20 rule on phone consults.

Introduced in October 2022, the rule means doctors are automatically referred to the Professional Services Review (PSR) if they claim 30 or more telephone attendance services a day on 20 days or more in a rolling 12-month period.
