Medicare eating disorder items webinar

In response to questions around the eating disorder-specific items now available under the Medicare Benefits Scheme, Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders are hosting a webinar Monday 16 December.

This webinar is open access and available for all to register

Presenters: Dr Gabriella Heruc, Dr Randall Long and Dr Kiera Buchanan (details below)

The pioneering changes to MBS funding for eating disorder treatment have commenced, significantly improving access to treatment for the most severe and complex patients.
However, this also brings with it questions for many clinicians:

• Which patients are eligible?
• Can a patient also access a Mental Health Care Plan?
• How can waitlists be managed?
• What psychological treatment is allowed under the scheme?
• Can comorbidities be treated under the scheme?

This webinar will provide clinicians with an overview of the MBS eating disorder pathway, patient eligibility, referral options and clinical management, with time for asking questions to our multidisciplinary panel. Procedural related questions may be referred to Medicare for a response.

Date: Monday 16 December, 2019
Time: (duration: 1 hour)

7pm NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS
6pm QLD
