Upcoming changes to General Practice Chronic Condition Management Plans

From 1 July 2025, Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items will be changing to:

• replace the current GP Management Plan and Team Care Arrangements with a single GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)
• support continuity of care by requiring patients registered for MyMedicare to access management plans through the practice where they are registered.
• encourage management plan reviews  by:
  • requiring patients to have their plan established or reviewed in the last 18 months so they can retain access to allied health and other services
• formalise referral processes for allied health services so they are more consistent with other referral arrangements
• ensure patients do not lose access to their current services through transition arrangements for existing patients with GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements.
