Medical Advisers (MAs) in the Professional Review Section are key to administering the Department’s Practitioner Review Program (PRP), ensuring that health practitioners are provided the opportunity to be reviewed by medical professionals regarding their Medicare servicing and Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) prescribing.

Key Responsibilities:

Under the Department’s PRP, assist in identifying and assessing health practitioners who may be claiming Medicare benefits, ordering tests, or prescribing inappropriately.

  • A practitioner’s practice/conduct when providing or initiating Medicare 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:
  • Conducting practitioner interviews and/or practice site visits to effectively and professionally communicate concerns of possible inappropriate practice.
  • Seek practitioner responses.
  • Determine whether concerns remain.
  • Prepare concise written reports and correspondence to practitioners under review to advise on your findings, outcomes, and next steps.
  • Liaising with practitioners and their legal advisers on matters arising out of PRP reviews or other compliance matters, including any concerns that remain unresolved.
  • Applying clinical experience and professional advice more broadly to support the development and implementation of the Division’s other compliance activities and policies.
  • Undertake ongoing learning and development relevant to the role.
  • Assist the Director and Senior Medical Advisers with other tasks as required.
