What is the MBS item number for Implanon insertion?
Item 14206. The current schedule fee is A$103.00, with a standard Medicare benefit of A$87.55 (85%).
Can it be bulk billed with a loading?
Yes — item 35501 (the LARC bulk billing incentive) can be claimed straight after 14206 when bulk billed, adding a further 40% of the 14206 schedule fee (A$41.20).
