Dear Professional Services Review,

Re: https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/profess...

It would appear that the RACGP and the AMA were consulted in the preparation for co-claiming of professional consultation and mental health item numbers.

I would be grateful if the entire correspondence (to and from AMA and RACGP -- I am aware that the names of correspondents may be redacted) regarding this campaign be published.

Yours faithfully,

Dr L

Dear applicant,

 

I refer to your emails of the 12^th and 13^th February to the Professional
Services Review (PSR) seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act

·         correspondence to and from the AMA and RACGP in relation to the
campaign and compliance letter for the co-billing of professional
consultations and mental health items;

·         a breakdown of male and female patients within the age brackets
of 25-30, 30-35 and 35-40 who have received the co-claimed Medicare items;
and

·         a breakdown of the male and female doctors who have received
these compliance letters within the age brackets of 25-30, 30-35 and 35-40
as well as their MMM or RA classification.

 

Your requests have been transferred to the Department of Health under
