Your notes must show

Documentation tests — what clinical notes need to record to match what the item asks.

  • All documentation elements required by item 232 (lead provider identification, setting confirmation, PMP contribution, communication evidence, frequency-cap dates).
  • Modality — videoconference, with confirmation that audio + visual link was clinically appropriate.
  • Confirmation that the practitioner billing is a prescribed medical practitioner.
  • Established clinical relationship — date the patient was first seen by this PMP, or the most recent prior face-to-face attendance.

Common audit failures

Patterns the Professional Services Review scheme and Medicare audits flag.

  • Phone-only attendance billed as 92058 — 92058 requires audio + video.
  • Item 92058 claimed by a GP — should be 92027.
  • Item 92058 claimed by a specialist or consultant physician — neither is eligible.
  • Item billed for a non-RACF, non-hospital-discharge patient — should be 92057.
  • Item 92058 claimed within 3 months of a 965 / 967 / 92029 / 92030 claim for the same patient.
