@Mark_Butler_MP offering up the 123 consult as a bonus for female GPs in which an hour of consulting time is valued at less than 1/3 of short consults is not the bonus you might think.
@chant_ian Actually that’s a pretty low fee
$40 oop for expert advice and a management plan is excellent value.
It appalling the government thinks it’s only worth $43.90
2 patients for care plan appointments today.
The fee is around $200
For asthmatic man the rebate is ~$156 (item 965)
For the teary, anxious, suicidal mum the rebate is only ~$102 (item 2715)
Why is this so??
@Mark_Butler_MP@RACGP@mentalhealth
The reaction to this has been INSANE
Our @freodockers captain Alex Pearce shared two instagram stories by the band Kneecap - the posts he shared simply spoke about the horror in #Gaza & condemned the killing of 20,000 children.
That’s it.
Yet the Murdoch & Stokes media and Caroline Wilson have shamefully spent 2 weeks attacking Pearce and calling for him to be punished.
And now here’s ANOTHER in-depth piece about it.
This is what they try & do. Silence & intimidate people from speaking out. Shame.
A bigger story - why has only Alex said anything about this unfolding genocide? Does no other AFL player have a conscience??
I’m so proud Alex is my club's captain https://t.co/yfUfeMY8Z1
Memo to @Mark_Butler_MP and @abcnews … GPs are specialists. With the worst rebates. (But the broadest scope, the biggest chance to improve health and backbone of our health system)
@SabraLane@abchobart There are different rules for billing depending on
…who orders the test
…what it’s for
…whether it’s a private machine
So very complicated
