We believe that MBSPro is the best AI tool available for GPs, designed to transform how you practice and help you provide the highest standard of care.

Features

Here’s a quick overview of MBSPro’s core features:

1. MBS Analytics 📊

MBSPro intelligently suggests MBS items based on your consultations and the reasons patients give during pre-consultation. This means you can start your consultations with a head start, thanks to our AI’s pre-consult insights. Advanced features within pre-consult will be covered in later sections.

2. AI Scribe Plus ✍️

Our AI scribe not only automates notes but also offers pre-built macros (similar to traditional BP templates) and customized templates for care plans, mental health assessments, health checkups, and more.

With MBSPro, you can also manage combination billing with better accuracy and compliance, resulting in higher billings for you and reduced out-of-pocket costs for patients – a true win-win.

3. MBS Education 🎓

You’ll find brief, 2-3 minute videos explaining each MBS item. These concise guides break down MBS descriptors, helping you bill accurately and effectively. We also provide example care plans for common conditions, complete with patient information sheets and resources, making MBSPro the most comprehensive AI solution in the market.

4. Guidelines and Patient Resources 📑

Access over 1,000 curated patient information sheets covering medications, conditions, and treatments, plus treatment guidelines. These resources are suggested automatically based on your consultation, ensuring you’re always up-to-date with evidence-based treatment options and providing the best care to your patients.


We’re constantly evolving, so feel free to check out our roadmap and suggest new features to add to MBSPro!

This help collection is full of hints, tips, and walkthrough videos to help you get the most out of MBSPro. These resources are always available if you need to revisit them, and you’re welcome to reach out to me personally if you have questions. I’m here to help!

MBS Planner, Macros & Templates

How to use the MBS planner, macros & templates

Last updated on January 2, 2024

MBS Planner Overview

The MBS Planner is where all recommended MBS items for a patient’s care will appear. The planner is divided into:

  • Chronic Disease Items 🌡️

  • Non-Chronic Disease Items 🩺

Each item's value is tallied at the bottom of the planner, helping you keep track of total billings. The MBS Planner is designed to ensure:

  1. Maximized Rebates 💸 — Reducing out-of-pocket costs for your patients.

  1. Optimized Earnings 🏥 — Ensuring you don’t miss out on billable rebates for the quality care you provide.

For a visual guide on using the MBS Planner, watch this quick video 📽️:

Macros & Templates

Macros and Templates help you quickly organize your consults the way you prefer, with customizable AI-assisted summaries 🧠 that structure your consults to be efficient and MBS-compliant.

How They Work:

  • Macros: Type / followed by an item number (e.g., /2712), and press Enter. The mental health care plan review macro will auto-populate in your compose screen. This lets you build an efficient, structured consult flow.

  • Templates: Stored within certain MBS items, templates help you structure specific consults. For example:

    • 721 Care Plan: Opens a care plan template that you can fill out directly.

    • 93644/5 (COVID Vaccine): Click to insert a COVID-related template in your compose box, or select Create Document to summarize COVID discussions.

MBSPro enables combination billings by automating documentation with multiple MBS items, making it one of the most powerful features! 📊 More on this feature can be found in its dedicated section. For further information and another demonstration please refer to this video

Why Change My Note Type?

Switching the note type adjusts how MBSPro structures your documentation, essentially changing the instructions given to the system. This adaptability allows you to tailor your notes to match the most suitable documentation format for each specific consultation.

Examples of consult note types

MBSPro offers a versatile approach to note-taking, accommodating various documentation formats such as SOAP, Chief Complaint, and Multiple Presenting Complaints.

During the note generation process, MBSPro presents you with a range of note types to choose from, enabling you to customize your documentation approach according to your specific requirements and preferences.

What is the SOAP Format?

The SOAP format is a structured approach to documenting patient encounters, ensuring clarity and completeness in medical notes. SOAP stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan.

Subjective: captures information shared by the patient, including their chief complaint, history of present illness, past medical history, current medications, and social and family history. The

Objective: records findings observed during the patient encounter, such as physical examination results, vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate, laboratory results, and imaging findings.

Assessment: synthesises the Subjective and Objective information to arrive at a diagnosis or clinical impression, integrating the patient’s symptoms and observed signs into a cohesive

Plan:

details the next steps, which may include additional testing or labs, prescriptions or treatment recommendations, referrals to specialists or other clinicians, and any follow-up instructions.

SOAP example

Patient presenting 3 day history of cough and fever likely viral URTI

Plan - symptomatic management, review 1 week, increase use of Ventolin

History:

  • Patient presents with a 3-day history of cough and fever.

  • worsened overnight

  • Examination findings:

  • heart sounds x 2

  • Bilateral wheezes on auscultation, no crepitations.

  • Mild pharyngeal erythema.

  • ears erythematous both sides

Assessment & Plan:

1. Acute Bronchitis

  • Likely viral etiology given the acute onset and associated symptoms.

  • Recommend symptomatic management with increased fluid intake and rest. Consider over-the-counter cough suppressants if necessary.

  • Follow-up in 1 week if symptoms persist or worsen.

2. Asthma Management

  • Asthma symptoms may be exacerbated by current upper respiratory infection.

  • Continue use of salbutamol inhaler as needed. Review inhaler technique and consider increasing dose if no improvement.

  • Schedule follow-up to reassess asthma control.

What is the Chief Complaint Format?

The Chief Complaint format structures patient encounters around their main reason for visiting. It includes:

  • Presenting Problem: The primary issue bringing the patient in

  • History of Presenting Problem: Background details like symptom duration and specifics

  • Examination: Objective findings related to the presenting problem

  • Plan: Next steps, which may include tests, treatments, or referrals

Live scribing

Live scribing

Live scribing in MBS Pro is a powerful feature that enhances the efficiency of medical consultations. It involves real-time note-taking during the patient encounter, allowing healthcare providers to capture important information as it unfolds. What sets MBS Pro apart is its ability to generate MBS codes and resources simultaneously with the live scribing process. This means that as you document the consultation, relevant Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) codes and associated resources are instantly suggested and made available. This real-time generation of codes and resources enables healthcare professionals to quickly utilize them during the consultation itself, rather than having to revisit and code the encounter afterwards. By streamlining the documentation and coding process, live scribing in MBS Pro not only saves time but also ensures more accurate and comprehensive records, ultimately improving the quality of patient care and practice efficiency. This loom video below explains how it works as a speed comparison with lyrebird and heidi

Combination Billing

Learn how to combination bill in style

MBSPro is designed for true combination billing 🧾, unlike other AI scribes that mix consult details together. In general practice, we often discuss multiple topics in a single, non-linear consult, making it challenging to allocate time ⏰ to each MBS item accurately. MBSPro addresses this by using multiple AI instances ✍️, each generating targeted summaries. For example, it creates a general consult summary, a mental health summary (potentially billable under 2713), and a COVID-related discussion summary (potentially billable under 93644/5), among others.

Medicare Eligibility Check

Learn how to conduct an eligibility check

Last updated on January 3, 2024

MBSPro can be used to perform an Eligibility Check for MBS items to help patients make informed decision on their treatment.

The purpose of this is that you can accurately assess whether a patient is eligible for certain items and provide informed financial consent on the cost of these items.

Follow these steps to conduct a check: Remember once you have performed an item number check you need to print out the report and give to the patient as well as put a record of the transaction in the patient file.

  1. Patient medicare eligibiltiy check: Go to the MBS Planner on the right and click the Eligibility Check button 🔗.

Notion Image
  1. Enter Patient and Provider Details: A pop-up screen will prompt you to input the patient's details along with your provider number.

Notion Image
  1. Click Submit

Click submit to receive a statement of claim 🧾, showing the benefits payable. This lets you confirm if the patient is eligible for rebates on items like care plans and health assessments ✅ and what their out of pocket expenses would be if any.

A list of Reason Codes can be found at Services Australia.

For more details, visit the PRODA Education website for health professionals 📚 below

Certain Medicare-related functionalities are not handled by MBSPro. These include:

  1. Statement of Claim and Benefit & Lodgement Advice: MBSPro does not submit or manage claims. However, you can generate a printed disclaimer with OECW/ECM response information for patient communication. This statement of claim should be given to the patient and placed in your medical chart

  1. Resubmission of Rejected Services: Claim resubmission is not part of MBSPro's functionality. Please reach out to your billing software provider directly

  1. Reporting and Reconciliation: Financial reporting and claim reconciliation are not managed within MBSPro. MBS Pro Proda check only allows for informed financial consent of patients regarding item numbers

Services Australia requires us to provide the following definitions:

a. A Statement of Claim and Benefit is provided to the claimant when a Patient Claim has been lodged in real time, processed by the agency and a benefit amount returned to the claimant. b. A Lodgement Advice is provided to the claimant when a Patient Claim has been lodged in real time and referred to an agency operator for action.

FAQ

Microphone Problem

Common microphone issues

Microphone Not Working?

Here’s a quick fix:

  1. Check for Remote Server Environment Issues

    1. The most common issue for microphones is due to your remote server environment, which is a common way Best Practice and Medical Director are run in Australian GP practices. Microphones are usually not enabled in the remote environment, which means you need to run them locally (i.e., open a browser on your PC/laptop before logging into remote desktop).

  1. Check Your Mic Connection

    1. Make sure your external microphone or headset is properly plugged in. Other issues can arise from having multiple microphones, usually due to having a webcam connected.

  1. Allow Microphone Access in Chrome/your browser

      • Click the padlock 🔒 in the address bar.

      • Go to Site Settings > Microphone

      • Set it to Allow, then refresh the page.

  1. Select the Right Mic on Your Computer

      • Windows: Settings > Sound > Input

      • Mac: System Preferences > Sound > Input

      • Choose your external mic.

  1. Test It in MSB Pro

      • Otherwise, you can click in the top right hand corner of MBS Pro to see if your microphone is working.

      • Start voice recording.

      • If the button changes to “Speaking”, your mic is working.

How to copy notes into BP or MD

MBS Pro consult summary to BP

No — it’s still a manual copy and paste process.

Best Practice (BP) does not currently allow third-party platforms to save notes directly into their system. This limitation comes from BP, not MBSPro.

💡 Tip: Use a Browser Extension

If you don’t have a dual monitor, you can install a browser extension (like a window resizer, companion window or split-screen tool in Chrome) to keep MBSPro and BP visible side by side — making it easier to copy notes between systems.

Here is the link to the companion window - keep an eye out for our very own widget to help with this
