Post-delivery requirements
After delivering an MHST course
After delivering an accredited MHST course, you must:
- ensure participants have successfully completed the relevant reinforcing component
- provide a certificate of completion to participants who successfully completed the course
- advise participants:
- to contact the GPMHSC by phone or email to ensure their provider number is on record (this speeds up their eligibility to claim the item numbers)
- that they must wait until they have received written confirmation from Medicare before claiming the relevant MBS item numbers
- that it might take up to six weeks after they complete the reinforcing component for them to receive this confirmation
- update each GP’s training records with the RACGP and/or the ACRRM, so that the GPMHSC can accurately report this information to Medicare.
