General Practice Immunisation Incentives (GPII) May 2010 calculation has been completed

This assessment is based on children who visited the practice at least twice, for any Medicare consultation, between 1st January 2009 and 31st December 2009. The 20A report lists the children who were not fully immunised in this calculation and data cleaning with the 20A is the key to achieving a better result in the May 2010 Recalculation (due to run in early August 2010);

The Recalculation re-assesses the immunisation status of those children identified on the GPII 20A report. This is the last opportunity for practices to achieve 90% and the associated Outcomes Payments for this quarter. (Outcomes Payments are $3.50 x WPE for practices >90%).

Practices can expect to receive their 20A Practice Report in the post in mid June 2010. Practices who do not receive their copy by end June should make enquiries with the GPII office, on 1800 246 101. The 20A report is also available electronically on the ACIR secure site. Providers need to log in using their secure access and order the 20A from the 'Reports' menu. Reports are produced within 48 hours.
