Scrap ban on charging for wound dressings in bulk-billed consults, says MBS Taskforce
Too many GP practices are losing money every time they offer wound care
GPs should be allowed to charge for bandages and dressings given to patients in bulk-billed consultations, an MBS review committee says.
There have been long running demands from doctors to end the ban on charging for wound dressings used during bulk-billed consults, a ban that frequently results in practices losing money every time they provide wound care.
