Hi again
I have spoken to DVA and they have said that the changes that affect my practice (physio) are as follows
PH10 and 20 are now $64.25
PH30 is now $68.10
PH11 is $69.05
PH21 is $64.25
PH31 is $80.70

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..?
10,20,21
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 :)

Thank you for this information. I've just rung DVA and here are some common codes for Podiatry:
F004 $64.25
F012 $64.25
F125 $57.35
F104 $67.75
F114 $64.25

F303 $73.40
F222 $362.20
F987 $53.50 (up to)

They mentioned that they were unaware of the increases until providers rang yesterday questioning the increased rebates (as little as they are). Unfortunately, they cannot predict when the new schedules will be published.
Cheers

Great thank you Kate. And the home visit F033 is now $64.25 - we have lodged 2 invoices for home visits today at the old fee and I have just been advised that the system will "automatically update them" the advice on when we get a up to date fee schedule was advised it will be posted on the website when its ready ......
