Why is the Mental Health Telephone/Email Management Fee (G14049) restricted to the GP that has been paid for the Mental Health Planning Fee (G14043)?
This fee is designed to allow greater flexibility in providing follow-up to a plan that has been created. The GP that has been paid for the Mental Health Planning Fee has also accepted the responsibility of being Most Responsible for that patient’s care for mental health diagnoses for that calendar year. The Mental Health Plan requires work, the shouldering of responsibility, and has considerable value. This fee is therefore restricted to the GP that has created the mental health plan.
