Participating Nurse Practitioners Services - Overview
As at 1 November 2010, Medicare benefits are payable for services provided by privately practising participating nurse practitioners in collaboration with other health care providers. Participating nurse practitioners can also request certain pathology and diagnostic imaging services for their patients and refer patients to specialist, as the clinical need arises. The nurse practitioner services that attract a Medicare benefit are identified in the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) by an item number and the each item describes the service requirements and schedule fee.
