Session Overview: From 1 March 2023 there will be changes to 138 Medical Benefits Schedule (MBS) items for otolaryngology diagnostic procedures; audiology services; ear, nose and throat operations and head and neck surgery. This includes changes to the diagnostic audiology items: items 82300 to 82332 for audiologists and items 11300 to 11332 that can be performed by audiologists on behalf of a medical practitioner. These changes are a result of recommendations from the MBS Review Taskforce that considered how more than 5,700 items on the MBS can be aligned with contemporary clinical evidence and practice and improve health outcomes for patients. More information about these changes is available on the Department of Health and Aged Care’s website at: MBS Online - Otolaryngology, head and neck surgery MBS changes The Department of Health and Aged Care are presenting this webinar to outline the changes as they relate to audiologists.
