The structured record of Australia's PSR outcomes

PSR Pulse is an independent compliance-intelligence publication for Australian medical practitioners, published by Amida Health AI. It converts the Professional Services Review's public case outcomes — Director's Updates, section 92 agreements and final determinations — into a structured, searchable database: cases, specialties, MBS items, repayment amounts, disqualifications and the documentation failures behind them.

The publication is educational. It reports and analyses public regulatory outcomes; it does not provide legal or billing advice, and it does not predict audit risk for any individual practitioner.

Source material is the PSR's own published record: current pages on psr.gov.au and archived copies (via the Internet Archive) of update pages PSR has since removed. Each case is parsed into structured fields with character-span provenance back to the source text.

Before publication, every case must pass an automated verification framework: a clickable citation to the official source must be present and live, stored excerpts must verbatim-match the source text, and every dollar figure must appear in the source. Editorial content is additionally fact-checked claim-by-claim against the cited material, and nothing can be published or emailed without a passing verification run — the gate is enforced in software, not policy. Cases that cannot be attributed to a public source are unpublished rather than approximated.

MBS item requirements referenced in analysis are grounded in official MBS Online descriptors; for items since removed from the schedule, the descriptor that applied at the time is cited from an archived copy.

Journalists and researchers are welcome to cite aggregate figures from the PSR Pulse Index and individual case pages with attribution to “PSR Pulse (psrpulse.com.au)”. Every case page links its official PSR source, so figures can be independently checked. For custom data cuts — by specialty, item family, time period or outcome type — contact the editor; turnaround for straightforward requests is usually same-day.

PSR Pulse is edited by Dr Alex Lapenga, a practising medical director based in Canberra. Editorial enquiries, interview requests and data requests: info@amidahealthai.com.au.
