IMPORTANT!
• The MBS calculator is designed by APNA to model and forecast key nurse-led activities in your practice.
• The calculator helps to estimate revenue, nurse time, employment costs and indicative profit or loss.
• It is a planning tool only and must be used in conjunction with MBS eligibility criteria and clinical need.
• Users should enter values that reflect their own circumstances and practice setting.
• The examples used in the instructional video, including nurse consultation times and pay rates, are provided as illustrative examples only to help users understand the purpose and functionality of the MBS Calculator.
