On the DVA website there no fee schedule update there.
Speaking to DVA claiming dept, they have only notified of the change this morning.
The Allied Health fee schedule will be apparently be uploaded in due course which is very frustrating and most certainly not good enough.
Currently on hold with another department to gain access to the new schedule - will update you if/when I have more information.

PH10 and 20 are now $64.25
PH30 is now $68.10
PH11 is $69.05
PH21 is $64.25

They have no idea when the schedule will be made public! If you need more info, I'd suggest calling them. There was a bit of a wait but once I got through they were really helpful

Thanks Rachel - of those above, do you know which one has gone up from 63.30? I am guessing PH10/PH20/PH21 were 63.30..?

There are others at that price point depending on what services you offer ie hospital visits etc I haven't posted them as they are no codes that we use so didn't ask about them and did not want to give information based on a guess....
Good luck everyone :)

Hi All
We have contacted the DVA enquiries team, however, they have only just been notified of this change and do not have the updated fee information available.
Our suggestion at this point is that you contact your professional associations to obtain the new pricing and update your DVA item codes.
When processing a DVA Online Claim and receiving the message above, click 'Yes' or 'Yes to All' to continue.
Please feel free to post any official information gained on this thread.

Cheers
Kate

Anyone have the new Exercise Physiology fees by chance?
Although, judging by the increases above, it seems like tit's a 1.5% increase across the board?
