Schedule Fees and Medicare Benefits
Each midwifery service is identified in the MBS by an item number. The fee set for any item in the MBS is known as the "Schedule fee". The Schedule fee and Medicare benefit for each service is listed in the item description.
There are two levels of benefit payable for midwifery services:
75% of the Schedule fee for midwifery services rendered as part of an episode of hospital treatment (other than for public patients) - see GN.1.2; or
85% of the Schedule fee for all other antenatal and postnatal services.
