Co-claiming of professional consultation and mental health item numbers
Dear Professional Services Review,
Re: https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/profess...
It would appear that the RACGP and the AMA were consulted in the preparation for co-claiming of professional consultation and mental health item numbers.
I would be grateful if the entire correspondence (to and from AMA and RACGP -- I am aware that the names of correspondents may be redacted) regarding this campaign be published.
Yours faithfully,
Dr L

Dear applicant,
I refer to your emails of the 12^th and 13^th February to the Professional
Services Review (PSR) seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act
1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) to the following documents:
· correspondence to and from the AMA and RACGP in relation to the
campaign and compliance letter for the co-billing of professional
consultations and mental health items;
· a breakdown of male and female patients within the age brackets
of 25-30, 30-35 and 35-40 who have received the co-claimed Medicare items;
and
· a breakdown of the male and female doctors who have received
these compliance letters within the age brackets of 25-30, 30-35 and 35-40
as well as their MMM or RA classification.
Your requests have been transferred to the Department of Health under
section 16 of the FOI Act, as the subject matter of the documents you are
seeking is more closely connected with the functions of that agency.
The Department of Health FOI team will be in contact with you in the near
future about the processing of your request. You can contact the
Department of Health via email at [email address] should you have any
enquiries about your request.
