From 1 November 2026 a GP can prepare or review a GP chronic condition management plan (GPCCMP) by phone and claim it for the first time. This page sets out the fees and the conditions, taken from the text of the law. Last updated 4 October 2026.
Key takeaways
• Four new items: 92033 and 92034 (GP, $160.60), 92063 and 92064 (prescribed medical practitioner, $128.55).
• Same fees as face-to-face and video. Medicare pays 100% of the schedule fee.
• Same rules as the video items. The law adds the phone items to the provisions that already govern 92029, 92030, 92060 and 92061.
• Patient: has a chronic condition, is not in residential aged care, and is seen at their MyMedicare practice (or by their usual doctor if not enrolled).
• Not before 1 November 2026.
| How it is delivered | GP: prepare | GP: review | GP fee | PMP: prepare | PMP: review | PMP fee |

PMP = prescribed medical practitioner (see MBS explanatory note AN.7.1).
The instrument does not write a separate set of rules. It inserts items 92033, 92034, 92063 and 92064 into the clauses that govern the video items, so these conditions apply to the phone items as they do to 92029, 92030, 92060 and 92061:
• The full legal wording of “usual medical practitioner” (clause 7.1.1 of the general medical services table) was not read; Services Australia explains it on its care-plan page.
• How the Department applies section 7(6C) to the care-plan items.
• Any explanatory note or fact sheet MBS Online adds before 1 November, and the consolidated Determination for 1 November, which is not published yet.
Not until 1 November 2026. From that date, items 92033 (prepare) and 92034 (review) let a GP do so by phone at $160.60, and items 92063 and 92064 do the same for a prescribed medical practitioner at $128.55.
Yes. The schedule fee is $160.60 for GP prepare and review whether by item 965 and 967 (in person), 92029 and 92030 (video) or 92033 and 92034 (phone), and $128.55 for the prescribed medical practitioner items. Medicare pays 100% of the schedule fee.
Not necessarily, but MyMedicare matters. If the patient is enrolled in MyMedicare, the service must be provided at the practice where they are enrolled. If they are not enrolled, it must be provided by their usual medical practitioner (clause 1.1.04(4) of the Determination).
The phone items are exempt from the "eligible telehealth practitioner" requirement, as the video items are (section 7(6A)(c)). Section 7(6C) separately provides that the provider must document in the clinical notes which exemption was used and the clinical justification. The sources we read do not say how the Department applies that to these items.
Practice nurses, Aboriginal health workers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners may assist the GP or prescribed medical practitioner under supervision, for example with information collection and passing on further information at the practitioner's direction (clause 1.1.07). The service itself is a personal attendance by a single GP or prescribed medical practitioner.
MBS Online states that general attendance items and the existing chronic condition management items cannot be claimed on the same day for the same patient, and clause 1.1.05 of the Determination, as amended, extends the same-day rule to the new phone items.
