Medicare Compliance for MBS Item No 723 - Team Care Arrangement (TCA)

Please be reminded that documented evidence of acceptance from members of the team involved in generating a Team Care arrangement from a GP Management Plan is required before the claim of Item No 723 can be made to Medicare.
 
To ensure you are compliant with Medicare it is necessary to record acceptance of the referral in the patient notes from the members of the team involved in the TCA.  
 
To assist you, GPNNT has developed a Medicare Compliance Assistance Form.
