Practice Incentives Program - Indigenous Health Incentive

From 1 January 2023 changes to the PIP IHI will come into effect. These changes include:

expanded eligibility for outcome payments to include First Nations patients under the age of 15.
the addition of GP Mental Health Treatment Plans as eligible items for outcome payments.
the introduction of a 12-month rolling window for practices to deliver services, giving them more time to achieve outcome payments.
the introduction of a back-ended payment structure.

The updated PIP IHI guidelines outline all the changes and are now available on the Services Australia website.
