Aged Care Billing for GPs: a practical, audit-defensible system for your RACF work

Residential aged care facility (RACF) work is some of the most demanding work a GP does — and some of the most inconsistently billed. The rules feel scattered, the items overlap, and it's hard to know what you can claim, when, and how to keep it defensible. Our Aged Care Billing for GPs course was built to fix exactly that.

It's a practical, MBS-grounded course covering the seven core building blocks of a structured RACF practice. Each module follows the same clear format: an at-a-glance summary, the clinical context, the MBS item descriptor, the billing and co-claiming rules, documentation tips, common pitfalls, and a knowledge check with answers.

The seven building blocks

• General attendances at a RACF (the 90035 family) — the foundation of your visits and how to attend correctly.

• Item 731 — the residential aged care care plan contribution.

• Item 903 — the Residential Medication Management Review (RMMR).

• Item 707 — the Comprehensive Medical Assessment (CMA).

• Item 735 family — case conferencing.

• Item 10997 — nurse-initiated chronic disease management follow-up.

• GPACI — the General Practice in Aged Care Incentive.

What you walk away with

By the end of the course you'll have a repeatable system for your RACF visits: what to claim, when to claim it, and how to keep every claim audit-defensible. It also includes an income model showing what a panel of 40 RACF patients can look like across a full year — so you can see the cumulative impact of doing this properly rather than ad hoc.

Whether you already visit a facility or you're building that side of your practice, this turns aged care billing from a source of uncertainty into a structured, confident part of your week.
