Do I have to stop using my scribe?

No. Keep the scribe you use for the note. MBS Scribe reads the note it gives you and runs the claim check on it.

Does it change my note?

No. The claim check reads the note you paste. Each item it finds quotes the note's own lines, and when part of a descriptor is missing it names that part. What the note says is up to you.

What if the patient declined recording?

Type or paste the note instead and run the same check.

Which MBS items does it check?

The same item families as every claim check, from attendances, telehealth and chronic condition plans to bulk-billing incentives, health assessments, mental health plans and procedures. The full list is on the MBS claim check page.

Check any scribe’s note against the MBS

Checked against the MBS in force from 1 November 2026 · Last updated 12 November 2026

Keep the scribe you use. Paste its note into MBS Scribe and the claim check reads it: each MBS item comes back Supported, Possible or Not supported, quoting the note’s own lines, with its Medicare benefit and the total for the consult.

Three steps

Paste the note. From your scribe, your practice software, or one you typed. Then choose Check this note.
Add what a note can’t say. In the room, by video or by phone, whether you bulk bill, the patient’s MyMedicare registration, and the time with the patient in whole minutes, so time-based items can be checked.
Read the check and copy the items. Each item comes with its Medicare benefit and the lines that back it up. Open one to see why. Copy the item numbers into your practice software. Nothing is sent to Medicare.

What the check reads

Only what the note says. The AI answers a fixed list of questions from the note’s own words and quotes each one. It never sees item numbers, fees or rules. Fixed, dated rules then check each item against the schedule in force on the date of service.

Supported: Every part of the descriptor is in the note, and the lines that show it are linked.
Possible: Part of the descriptor isn’t in the note. The check names the part. It never tells you to add it.
Not supported: The note doesn’t support it, or another item takes its place. The check says which.

Where a pasted note goes
