Context
The question was posed in the context of public hospital outpatient services where clinicians can bulk bill when exercising a Right of Private Practice providing all other criteria are met. The questioner wanted to know how they easily determine which item numbers should be claimed at 75% and which 85% because the Private Health Insurance (Benefit Requirement) Rules do not seem to include some MBS item numbers that are relevant to outpatient services and normally claimed at 85% of the schedule fee, such as telehealth and face-to-face consults, and the associated bulk bill incentives.
