MBS Patient Demographics 2016 Qtr 2
Data is updated monthly
-
Quarter 2 contains data for the period 1 April to 30 June 2016.
-
The figures in the report include only those services that are performed by a registered provider, for services that qualify for Medicare Benefit and for which a claim has been processed by Medicare Australia. They do not include services provided by hospital doctors to public patients in public hospitals or services that qualify for a benefit under the Department of Veterans' Affairs National Treatment Account.
-
State/Territory is determined according to the address (at the time of claiming) of the patient to whom the service was rendered.
-
Month is determined by the date the service was processed by Medicare Australia, not the date the service was provided.
-
The figures are made up of total services claimed minus later day adjustments. A later day adjustment is a reversal of a previously claimed service and can occur for a number of reasons. In some months the number of later day adjustments exceeds new claims for an item. In these circumstances, the total figure for the month will be negative.
-
Monthly figures may vary due to the varying number of processing days in a month, which depends on the number of days in the month, public holidays, overtime worked etc.
