The doctor was in the top 1% of claimants for three Medicare acupuncture items.
A GP has repaid $360,000 in Medicare claims for acupuncture after a review found he had treated up to nine patients at the same time.
The Professional Services Review (PSR) said the doctor was in the top 1% of claimants for items 193, 197 and 199 — for consultations provided by doctors endorsed by the Medical Board of Australia to perform acupuncture.
