Authors' objectives:
A proposal was received seeking a funding model that reflected contemporary addiction medicine practice, for example, time-tiered specialist professional attendance items and specialist case conferencing items which reflect multidisciplinary management integral to effective and efficient addiction medicine practice. This will include MBS items for complex treatment and management planning.
Authors' recommendations:
After considering the strength of the available evidence in relation to the safety, clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Addiction Medicine and Sexual Health Medicine consultation items, MSAC supports public funding of 16 new time-tiered MBS items for AM services and 16 new modified traditional structure 'consultant physician-equivalent' MBS items for SHM services.
