classification of procedures based on the Commonwealth Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) of fees for health services
Australian procedure classification based on the fee schedule so that the classification of procedures in the public and private sectors, as well as in ambulatory situations, would be more consistent
the Medicare Benefits Schedule, Extended (MBS-E), is more specific than MBS, and is organised logically according to body system and site and includes a detailed index. Codes have been added for procedures not currently eligible for benefits, such as cosmetic surgery, obstetrics and allied health procedures.
ICD-10-AM was introduced in July 1998 in hospitals and other healthcare agencies in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and the Northern Territory. It will be introduced in the remaining States from July 1999 .
