Capitation Rates - as of August 2023
Details of the GMS patient panel are issued to the PCRS on the 1st of each month. This information should reflect panel size for the practice as on the 1st of the current month. Payments are issued to the GP contract holder on the 15th of each month (approx.). Patients registering with a GP mid-month are not paid to the doctor for that month and where patients are taken off the panel mid-month, the doctor receives payment for the entire month.
The below 'Post-2023 Deal' rates became effective from 1st August 2023 to those GPs who opted to accept the terms of the 2023 GP Agreement. The capitation increases are applicable to both existing and new GMS/DVC patients. All capitation rates will continue to attract 10% superannuation.
