The revised file dated 16 December corrects a discrepancy between the proposed changes and the files published. Item EO035, EO036 and EO255 have been deleted as they have been renumbered to items ED270, ED275 and EJ540 respectively.

14 December 2021 update: This update finalises the changes to the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) that came into effect on 1 July 2021 with amendments to General Surgery services. Included in this update are the 1 November 2021 minor amendments to Orthopaedic services following the restructure of the group on 1 July 2021.

The CSV and PDF files only lists an MBS item where there is an exactly matched MBS item associated with the AMA item. For equivalent (ie similar) but not exactly matched MBS items, the ‘MBS Number’ column appears empty. For more information on AMA items and their equivalent or exactly matched MBS items, and the AMA fees, please use the ‘search’ function on the toolbar.
