New Indigenous Health PIP guidelines released

The PIP is based around three key components a sign-on payment, a payment linked to registration of each eligible patient and an outcomes payment associated with the cycle of care provided to the patient by the practice. The PIP is a key element of the Australian Government's Closing the Gap package and is expected to act as a 'gateway' through which patients can access other programs under the package.

The guidelines for this PIP have now been released and are available, alongside other relevant documents, from the Medicare Australia website at www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/pip Medicare Australia has recently written to all PIP practices advising the release of the guidelines and inviting them to participate in this PIP.
