Core AU · Medicare Benefits Schedule
Search the MBS by item number or description.
The MBS is the schedule used to define Medicare services, schedule fees and applicable benefit amounts. It is not the same thing as a provider's actual charge. Core AU ingests the official XML release and keeps a direct link back to MBS Online.
The MBS schedule fee and Medicare benefit are reference amounts under Medicare. A doctor or other provider can charge a different fee. Use the Medical Costs Finder and a written provider estimate to understand likely out-of-pocket costs.
