Can I suggest a better item number?
Absolutely! Send in your suggestions and help make the app better! Contact us. Email Medicare Australia for schedule interpretation questions.

Is there an Android/Blackberry/Palm/Web/Windows version?
Not at the moment. We'd like to develop the iPhone version fully before expanding to other platforms Contact us if you're interested in a particular version and we'll let you know when it might be ready.

Can I report an error?
We'd be most grateful! Help us improve the app. We got pretty bored coding all the item numbers so there are bound to be a few errors. Contact us here to let us know.

What should I do if I'm not sure whether I can use an item number for a procedure?
Contact Medicare Australia
It can get tricky. If Medicare can't help you then it is up to you to interpret the schedule. In general it is better to be conservative. Medicare audits billing claims and the penalties for fraud are onerous. MBS Search aims to help you rapidly choose the correct item number(s), not rort the system.
