Intrahealth have posted JFA files containing the MBS rates from 1 July 2020. Importing this file will create the MBS rates active for all services contained in the MBS file released.

Details of the items changed in these update is available from the MBS Web site

[http://www.mbsonline.gov.au/internet/mbsonline/publishing.nsf/Content/Home](http://www.mbsonline.gov.au/internet/mbsonline/publishing.nsf/Content/Home)

This release contains two files:

   MBS\_20200701\_CombinedUpdate.jfa

Contains all the rates as published by Medicare.

   MBS\_20200701\_AdditionaRatesForGPsWhoBillAllServicesWithMC85.jfa

Contains all the items with 100% rates but loaded against the MC85 service rate (Optional).  It is recommended that GPs who bill all services using the MC85% rate load this second file

Please note we have copied exactly what Medicare has given us in the source files to the Jaffa in terms of the MC, MC85 and MC75 rates.  Some derived fees were calculated where the required rate was not available.  For example item 4 can be claimed at 100% or 75% but item 3 which it is derived from, only has a 100% rate published.  We have calculated the 75% rate in this case.

Descriptions longer than 2000 characters in length have been shortened to 2000 characters

Short descriptions have only been supplied for new items to avoid overwriting customised descriptions.

Items which are not derived from a single item do not have rates specified.

If you want to adjust your private rates you can add them in the new 1/7/2020 period in Maintain\Services\Financial.
