How to search for MBS billing eligibility

What is this feature?

MediQo’s Smart MBS Billing Suggestions help you quickly identify and apply the correct Medicare item numbers during your consultations.

This enhanced feature makes it easier to navigate complex billing requirements by providing search functionality alongside context-aware recommendations and eligibility guidance — directly within your workflow.

This feature is available across all MediQo accounts, including those on a free trial.


How it works

While you’re in a patient consult:

  1. Open the MBS Suggestions panel

  2. View recommended item numbers based on your consultation

  3. Search for additional item numbers if needed

  4. Review eligibility details before applying

MediQo automatically generates suggestions based on:

  • The context of your consultation

  • Your practitioner type

This ensures that recommendations are relevant, accurate, and aligned with your clinical activity.

Why this matters

MBS billing can be complex, with evolving rules and extensive schedules to navigate.

Traditionally, finding the correct item number requires searching external resources, cross-referencing guidelines, and manually confirming eligibility.

MediQo simplifies this process by surfacing the right information at the right time, so that you’re paid accurately for the care you provide.
