#65 - Rejections, Rejections, Rejections (insert facepalm)
Send us your enquiry or question directly!
In this episode, we unpack one of the most frustrating parts of modern general practice: MBS rejections - especially the 965 and 967... oh GPCCMP.
Clinics are delivering the service. Nurses are doing the work. The patients benefit.
And yet… the rejections keep rolling in.
And here’s the kicker; There are no magic fixes. No simple button to press. No overnight solution.
So what should happen?
We dive into:
• Why 965 and 967 rejections occur (and why they’re so costly)
• The operational and financial impact on clinics
• Why leaders and PM's must come prepared with a plan - not panic
• The importance of forethought, strategy, and understanding business risk
• How to proactively navigate Medicare changes instead of reacting to them
• A mindset shift: If we’ve delivered a service, we deserve to seek payment for that service.
This episode is a call-out and a call-up; If you’re a PM, owner, nurse lead, or operational leader - it’s time to stop being blindsided and start thinking like a business.
P.s. we apologise in advance about the rant. We hope that this episode help's push you in the right direction to avoid rejections at all costs!
