Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Health Assessment

The ATSI Health Assessment is provided to assist you with the early detection, diagnosis and intervention of common and treatable conditions that can cause considerable morbidity and early mortality in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

ATSI Health Assessment functionality in Clinical consists of:

ATSI Prompt: This appears on opening the record of a patient who is determined to be eligible for the ATSI Health Assessment. From this prompt you can initiate the ATSI Health Assessment wizard. This prompt can also be disabled for a given patient via Prompt/Preventive Health Options.
The ATSI Health Assessment wizard: This questionnaire can be initiated via the ATSI Prompt, or called at any time from within an eligible patient's Clinical Window, via Assessment > ATSI Health Assessment. The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) provides for an ATSI Health Assessment for MBS item numbers 715.
The ATSI Health Assessments can be bulk billed only when all components of the ATSI Health Assessment wizard have been completed. However, if there are tests required as an outcome of the ATSI Health Assessment then you have two options:
Defer the completion of the ATSI Health Assessment until after the results are back and reviewed with the patient, or
Complete and claim for the ATSI Health Assessment and then have a separate attendance to review the results which has to be billed separately.
The ATSI Health Assessment cannot be claimed on the same day as another attendance item, except where clinically required.
If during the ATSI Health Assessment the patient is found to have a condition or illness that requires immediate treatment, a separate consultation item may be billed and the claim for this attendance item should be annotated to indicate it was not related to the ATSI Health Assessment. Otherwise defer the completion of the ATSI Health Assessment until any test results are available.
