Medicare benefits schedule changes - CardioScan Australia

Since August 2020 private hospitals have been missing out on the ECG Medicare rebate.

CardioScan’s ECG reporting solution brings those procedures back into the rebate scheme, avoiding lost revenue.

The CardioScan solution has no set up costs and produces Cardiologist reported ECGs that qualify for the new rebate items.

Private hospitals and clinics can no longer claim under item numbers 11700 and 11701, however CardioScan’s solution means hospitals can claim for ECG’s and reports under the new item numbers 11704 and 11705 allowing the recovery of lost revenue.

To claim under 11704 and 11705, ECG’s now need to be reviewed externally, as doctors can no longer report on traces from their own patients or of patients they have a financial relationship with.

CardioScan specialists review traces sent by a clinic and provide a report via EMR or fax, allowing clinics to claim the MBS rebate under item number 11704 and 11705.
