Oh dear Minister John Carey. How wrong you are….
My whole business Choice Accreditation Services is dedicated to ensuring medical imaging departments, practices and individuals adhere to the Radiation Council WA rules and DIAS standards in relation to billing Medicare.
The Capital Sensitivity Rule doesn’t allow you to receive Medicare benefits if your machines are older than below. Let’s hope you didn’t claim anything with old machines (or evidence of upgrades).
⭐️Ultrasound 10 years
⭐️Xray 15 years
⭐️CT 10 years
⭐️Mammography 10 years
Might be a good idea to do a quick audit to make sure no inappropriate billing has occurred or patients put at risk with old technology.
Ring me on Monday, even happy to offer a discount to take a look at it. 😉
