servicing and PBS prescribing, identifying areas of potential concern and interacting with

practitioners to discuss these concerns. Corporate entities are also reviewed under the PRP.

who may be claiming Medicare benefits, ordering tests, or prescribing

inappropriately
- Draw on clinical knowledge of contemporary practice, and analyse data from a

requirements or possible inappropriate practice. This may include considering

services or prescribing PBS medicines would be unacceptable to the general

body of their peers.
- Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and/or PBS requirements have been met
- services are medically necessary and clinically relevant, that is, generally

accepted by the relevant profession as necessary for the appropriate

treatment of the patient
- Managing a case load of practitioners under the PRP, including:

concerns of possible inappropriate practice effectively and professionally,
