Medicare Consent for Nurse Practitioner Services
Nurse practitioners who bulk-bill Medicare items need signed AoB consent from 1 July 2026 — the same as GPs. GPConsent supports NP billing with the relevant MBS items and the same consent capture, signing, and retention workflow used by GP practices across Australia.

How GPConsent works in this setting
NP-specific MBS items
Nurse practitioner attendance items (items 82200–82215) and related items are available in the MBS catalogue.
Same consent workflow
Bedside, SMS link, paper, or unable-to-sign — all four consent pathways work for nurse practitioner services.
NP-branded consent form
The consent form shows the nurse practitioner's name and provider number, correctly identifying the billing provider.
Billing export
Export claim-ready CSV or PDF bundles for NP services, separate from GP claims if needed.
MBS rules
Setting-specific MBS information
Nurse practitioners have their own MBS attendance items (82200–82215) and can bill a range of services independently. The AoB consent requirements are identical: per-episode signed consent with the reg 65C(4) data set. GPConsent supports NP billing workflows within the same practice account used by GPs.
