The MBS Items tab is available when a compatible billing system is used and correctly configured in CAT4. The details on how to configure your preferences to collect billing data as well as clinical data can be found here: Choosing and configuring your Billing System
The data is displayed as a bar graph of:
- Count of MBS items recorded
- Count of MBS items not recorded
- AH Claims
- MBS Telehealth and Nurse Practitioner
- Covid-19 showing temporary items introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic
The MBS items are extracted from your billing system and show the items that have been claimed at your clinic only.
Where relevant, items specific for 'other providers' have been added. Other providers are non vocationally registered clinicians who can perform the same services (health assessments, care plans and others) but have to use different item numbers from vocationally registered clinicians. These items are listed under the relevant activity and are treated the same, as the patient has received the same service.
Please note that we are reporting rejected items on the 'count' tab of the report, as it is assumed that the work (health assessments, care-planing and other) has been performed. This is likely to change with an upcoming review of the MBS item reports.
Notes
- You can use the Results filter to find the most recent MBS items that have been billed in a specific time period.
- Old item numbers are still collected and displayed in the appropriate bar segment of the graph. Refer to the table below. The item number will be viewable via the Reidentify report.
- MP = Medical Practitioner, NP = Nurse Practitioner, PN = Practice Nurse, AHW = Aboriginal Health Worker

Some item numbers have a follow up item number attached. For example, patients who have had a 2710 (Mental Health Plan) should have a follow up 2712 (Review of Mental Health Plan). You are able to identify patients that have not had the follow up item number by using selecting item 2710 from the recorded tab and item 2712 from the not recorded tab and using the 'Report' button to do a cross-tabulation.
