MBS item number

The code identifying a Medicare-rebated service.

Costs and funding

Every rebated service has an MBS item number with a set schedule fee and rebate. Asking your clinic for the item numbers in your treatment plan lets you look up the schedule fee and calculate your likely out-of-pocket cost before you commit.
