Definition:![]() | For the Australian Government's Practice Incentives Program (PIP) Quality Improvement (QI) Incentive program, a regular client is defined as a client (patient) who has visited a particular primary health care provider three or more times in the last two years. This includes clients who have had more than one visit with a provider in a day, or who have seen multiple providers in a practice in a day. Visits should only be considered as such if they are eligible for an MBS rebate. Non-clinical events, such as administration and patient notification activities, should not be counted as visits for the purposes of this rule. Deceased patients are to be excluded. |
