What survives review
Show the clinical input
For higher-value or repeated services, the record should make the practitioner contribution visible rather than just recording an administrative event.
Excessive servicing
Keep the source record clear enough for an external peer to connect the patient need, the service provided, and the item claimed.
Documentation has to stand alone
The note should show the presenting problem, assessment, clinical reasoning, time or complexity when relevant, and the plan without relying on memory.
MBS requirement breach
Keep the source record clear enough for an external peer to connect the patient need, the service provided, and the item claimed.
