Podcast interview: MBS changes aim to increase video consultations

Dr Gillian Alexis, RACGP Educator, CEO of Phenix Health and Telehealth Mastery’s Director joined Dr Andrew Baird for a podcast interview by The Medical Republic.

The interview which was aired on 26 May 2021, discusses how the MBS Changes aim to increase video consultations.

  • Some of the knowledge gaps around legality and insurances, marketing and workflow models
  • There is a lot of stress and uncertainty inhibiting doctors’ investment. There must be great clarity on the Health Direct platform and Medicare benefits
