MBSPro’s $29 registrar deal for the life of your training
We recently caught up with Dr Casey Going, GP and founder of MBSPro, to talk about MBSPro’s new registrar offer – just $29 per month for the entire duration of your training:
Q: Casey, can you explain the new registrar deal and what it involves?
A: MBSPro normally costs $99 per month plus GST. For registrars, we’re offering an extended promo – $29 per month for the life of your training. So while you’re a GP/RG registrar, it stays at $29.
The idea was simple – registrars are probably the group who benefit most from this tool. Billing in general practice is completely different from hospital medicine, and the transition can be challenging. We wanted to make it affordable and accessible.
Q: For those who haven’t used MBSPro before, what does it actually do?
A: MBSPro is built specifically for general practice. It helps with Medicare billing, note writing, structuring care plans, and understanding item numbers.
When I was a registrar, there wasn’t anything like this. You’d essentially “wing it”, put in some codes, then later check whether they were correct. MBSPro instead explains:
- What the item number is
- Why you’d use it
- When it’s appropriate
- What criteria apply.
We even have short explainer videos showing typical use cases. It’s far easier than trying to navigate the MBS website in the middle of a busy clinic.
Q: What are some of the newer features?
A: We’ve added several powerful updates:
- PBS Authorities integration – much faster and more efficient to process
- Best Practice integration – allows tracking of daily patient lists, item numbers billed, and analytics such as billings per hour
- Billing compliance insights – highlights MBS criteria like time requirements and helps ensure you’re meeting them
- Evidence-based medicine module – a chatbot-style tool that surfaces Australian treatment guidelines in a summarised format, which is fantastic for quick clinical decision-making and exam preparation.
It’s about making both the clinical and billing sides of general practice more efficient and compliant.
Q: How can this help registrars specifically?
A: There’s often a perceived drop in income when moving from hospital training into general practice. A tool like this helps registrars start strong – understanding billing properly, maximising legitimate income, and ensuring compliance from day one.
It also reduces cognitive load. Instead of trying to memorise item numbers or dig through guidelines, you can focus on patient care while the system supports you in the background.
Q: You’ve previously spoken about the future of general practice being “AI-first”. What do you mean by that?
A: We now have enormous electronic medical records – sometimes 20 years of patient history. It’s impossible to digest all that in a 15-minute consultation.
AI will increasingly help surface relevant past history, highlight follow-ups, summarise information, and bring up treatment guidelines in real time. We’ve already seen the revolution from paper files to electronic records. The next step is AI helping us interpret and synthesise that information.
General practice is actually well positioned to adopt these tools because workflows are more flexible than in hospital systems. GPs can implement innovation quickly and tailor tools to their practice.
Q: Why is it important that GPs are involved in health innovation?
A: Clinician-led tools are very different from tools designed without clinical input. GPs understand workflow, patient flow, billing realities, and what matters in day-to-day practice.
If general practitioners design and shape innovation, the tools are far more relevant, practical, and beneficial for both doctors and patients.
Q: What’s your message to early career doctors considering general practice?
A: General practice is a fantastic career – flexible, diverse, intellectually stimulating.
Technology will multiply those benefits. It’s easier to adopt AI tools in general practice than in hospital systems. You can design workflows that suit you and improve your work–life balance.
I’m very optimistic about the future.
