From 1 July 2025, GP management plans (GPMPs) and team care arrangements (TCAs) will be replaced with a single GP chronic condition management plan (GPCCMP). The existing MBS items for developing and reviewing GPMPs and TCAs will cease and new MBS items for the GPCCMP will be introduced.
These changes will require updates to Zedmed's Chronic Disease Management module. Until Zedmed releases an update, the new GPCCMP template must be manually added to Zedmed and accessed via Quickdocs, as explained in this guide.
The impact of these changes to MBS Items for GP Chronic Condition Management Plans are explained in the PDF provided by the Department of Health, Disability and Aging via the MBS Online website.
