OSR MCH-1 - Maternal and Child Health MCH-1 Record the number of child health checks conducted in the Financial Year

How many Child Health Checks were done during the year?

Description

Health checks are identified by the client being 0 to 4 years of age and either a Medicare claimed for item 715 or alternatively by clinical item with the system code of CHC. If both a MBS 715 and an alternative health check (CHC) are recorded for the same patient, only the 715 check is counted.

Note: Because the claim and the evidence of the claim can be recorded on separate occasions, and because item 715 is usually an annual claim, individual patients are reported rather than individual claims or completed clinical items. MBS item 10986 Healthy Kids Check are identified by Medicare claims for item 10986.
