Medicare Consent for Subacute and Rehabilitation Visits
Subacute and rehabilitation care — including geriatric evaluation, slow-stream rehab, and palliative care units — requires the same signed AoB consent as any bulk-billed service. GPConsent manages consent capture across all subacute settings with setting-specific MBS rules and multi-disciplinary team considerations.

How GPConsent works in this setting
Subacute-specific rules
MBS items are filtered for subacute settings, with appropriate attendance and consultation items available.
Full data set capture
The reg 65C(4) data set is assembled and validated for every consent — nothing is claimed without it.
Flexible signing
Patients in rehab may have varying capacity. GPConsent supports bedside, remote, and representative consent pathways.
Billing export
Export claim-ready CSV or PDF bundles and mark records as submitted to prevent double-claiming.
MBS rules
Setting-specific MBS information
Subacute and rehabilitation settings use standard GP attendance items. The 721/723 RACF exclusions do not apply in most subacute settings, so GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements can be billed where clinically appropriate. GPConsent adapts the available MBS items based on the setting type.
Questions
Subacute & rehab consent FAQ
Are subacute patients treated the same as RACF residents for consent?
Subacute care is a distinct setting from RACF. The consent requirements are the same (signed AoB per episode), but the MBS item rules may differ.
Can I use GPConsent for palliative care visits?
Yes. Palliative care visits within a subacute setting are covered. The consent flow works the same way — capture, sign, and claim.
What if a patient is discharged mid-round?
Each consent is per-episode, so discharge doesn't affect previously captured consents. New episodes after discharge would need fresh consent.
