MBS Criteria for Cardiac investigations

The MBS criteria for Cardiac testing was updated on 1st August 2020. The main impact on GP referrals centre around referral criteria and time between testing.

Echos and Stress Echo GP referrals are limited to one every two years. Testing required within these intervals will require assessment and referral by a specialist or cardiologist.

New criteria for GP referred investigations are outlined below:

Stress Echo

  • Symptoms suggestive of or concerning for ischaemia (Chest/Arm/Jaw pain or SOBOE)
  • Ongoing symptoms or a change in symptoms for a patient with known Coronary Artery Disease.
  • Further assessment of a lesion of uncertain functional significance detected on CTCA or CT Calcium Score (CACS)
  • Pre-operative assessment in certain patients considered to be high risk - please discuss with our cardiologists
  • Assessment prior to intervention for stuctural heart disease.
  • Some other less frequent indications - please discuss with cardiologist
