Skin Checks
What is it?
Skin checks involve an assessment to support surveillance and identify ‘at risk’ skin that may require further investigation.
How does it work?
A skin check service must be delivered in private practice by a face-to-face consultation, and no MBS item raised.
A skin check service without an MBS item raised, performed by a GP, can be claimed under Doctor Health Checks.
Are you eligible?
To claim a benefit you need to:
- hold an eligible product that includes benefits for Skin Checks
- have held a product with that benefit for at least six months
To check your eligibility, please review your fact sheet or contact Australian Unity on 13 29 39
How to claim
To claim, just send a copy of the receipt for your skin check, with your name, with a completed ‘Preventative Health Services– Claim Form’ to Australian Unity.
