We're excited to invite you to the next session of our non-clinical webinar series designed to support you at every stage of your professional journey.

Navigating MBS billing can be challenging, particularly where consultations, procedures and provider roles all overlap. This webinar is designed to build a stronger understanding of Medicare fundamentals and billing requirements, to support confident and compliant claiming.  

Session 4: Pain Medicine and MBS - Billing with confidence

We’ll examine some foundational principles that will help guide you in selecting the most appropriate MBS item number in complex clinical scenarios. 

Our presenters will demonstrate how these principles can apply in a number of practical pain medicine examples, including the selection of consultation items where multiple specialties intersect, and when billing multiple items for interventional pain procedures. 

Designed as a compliance education session rather than a prescriptive guide, this webinar will help participants better understand the intent of the MBS and apply that understanding confidently in their own clinical context.

Our guest speakers include: 

  • Steve Dunlop – Director, Medical Specialists Services Section, Medical Benefits and Digital Health Division 
  • Dan Sheahan – Assistant Director, Medical Specialists Services Section, Medical Benefits and Digital Health Division 
  • Anna Cushion – Project Officer, Medical Specialists Services Section, Medical Benefits and Digital Health Division 
  • Mehzabin Ahmed – A/g Assistant Director, Provider Early Intervention Section, Benefits Integrity Division
