Last year, the Government made available temporary MBS items to improve the access to allied health care for residents in residential aged care during COVID-19. Under these items, audiologists providing services to aged care residents are able to:
- claim a call-out fee to cover their costs to travel to an aged care facility to provide a face-to-face service; and
- undertake an initial attendance consultation with a resident who has been referred under an eligible treatment, management or care plan.
