Pathology requests under the microscope

• The Department of Health (DoH) investigates the pathology requests of GPs in letters through the RACGP.
• This campaign aims to lessen the number of GPs who request Medicare Benefits Schedule pathology combinations.
• DoH commits to adopting a more academic approach when carrying out compliance campaigns.
• RACGP plans to continue working with DoH in the development, improvement, or promotion of resources and education for providers relating to Medicare compliance.
