Medicare Compliance and Telehealth Services

From 1 October 2022, a new prescribed pattern of service (30/20) rule for telehealth phone consultations will commence. Under these new arrangements, a GP, consultant physician or other medical practitioners (OMPs), who provides 30 or more phone attendances on each of 20 or more days in a 12-month period would be referred to the Professional Services Review (PSR).
