The current Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule listing, with schedule fee and plain-English explanation.
The prescribed medical practitioner (PMP) equivalent of item 701: a time-tiered health assessment for eligible patients, not more than 30 minutes of face-to-face time. Time bands and eligibility criteria follow the GP series (701–707); the fee is lower than the GP equivalent ($56.85 here against $71.00 for item 701). The prescribed medical practitioner version of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health assessment (715) is item 228. Other medical practitioners (OMPs) cannot claim these health assessment items.
From 1 November 2026 (subject to legislation — confirm on MBS Online) items 224–227 are also used for the Medicare Healthy Kids Check: a once-per-child, lifetime health assessment for Medicare-eligible 3-year-olds, with no change to descriptors, fees or co-claiming restrictions.
