🔬 MBS July update

We take a closer look at some of the biggest developments in healthcare right now.

From 1 July 2025, there will be a number of changes to some Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) items. Here are the biggest updates:

• Many Medicare rebates increase by 2.4%, including most general medical services items, most diagnostic imaging services, and a number of pathology items.
• 54 new MBS items have been added.
• 5,454 MBS items have been updated.
• 34 items have been removed.
• 866 MBS item descriptions have been updated.

We’ve already updated Halaxy’s Global Fee Database to reflect the MBS changes for 1 July, so you can manage the rebate increases straight away without having to type in the new rebate on each and every fee and each and every invoice.

All you need to do is click “Update Fees” and Halaxy automatically manages everything for you – putting you in control and making sure you get paid the full rebate every time. By updating your preset fees now, all your invoices dated from 1 July 2025 automatically reflect the new Medicare pricing, without affecting your current fees.
