DCM pushes to you all fee schedule updates as they become available. This is a regular occurrence with the major fee update effective 1 July each year.

• AMA update their fees on 1 November each year
• NSW WorkCover is based on the AMA fee but do not update their schedule until the following 1 January
• Medicare regularly introduce new Item Codes and cease others throughout the year. On their doing so, Health Funds have to provide updates. Should they not the new Item Code will populate with 100% of the Medicare Fee

Be comfortable in knowing that the correct fee will populate on the IFC/Invoice based on the Date of Service (DOS). 

On receiving a Fee Update, you will receive a Notification. Should you not view this at the time, there will be a little green envelop up to the left of the Calendar in The CONTROL Centre.

You can also check this Update Fees to check when the fees were last updated as well as force an Update.
