Appendix A – Non MBS Items

The use of non-MBS items and whether they are claimable via a health fund is subject to the negotiated contract between the Facility and the individual health fund. It is the Facility's responsibility to enter any non-MBS items into Bluechip and Day Surgery whether it is for billing and/or reporting purposes.

As such, MedicalDirector recommends entering non-MBS items into both Bluechip and Day Surgery separately. This is to ensure the Service Item number entered into Bluechip for invoicing purposes is recognised in Day Surgery for reporting purposes.
