Many of the issues that land GPs in difficulty have little to do with clinical skill. In this short video, David Gardner, solicitor with APHD and former AHPRA investigator, explains where doctors most often come unstuck.
David covers why thorough record keeping matters (if it isn’t written down, it didn’t happen), the higher standard of conduct expected of registered practitioners, and why you, not your clinic, are responsible for billing under your Medicare provider number.
His core advice is simple: be thoughtful, and take a few extra seconds before acting in a difficult situation.
David also talks about how HealthCert's new Regulatory Risk & Safety for Skin Cancer Practice short course can help you feel more confident managing your own Medicare billing and taking control of those decisions.
