RACGP demands return of $80 MBS item for COVID-19 antiviral prescribing
The RACGP also wants to keep the existing relationship exemption for patients with COVID-19.
The RACGP is lobbying the Federal Government to bring back the $80.10 MBS item for COVID-19 antiviral prescribing that was axed on Monday.
The college also says cutting the existing relationship exemption for patients with COVID-19 will force patients to attend GP practices while infectious, placing “other patients and practice staff at unnecessary risk”.
