AIHW - Medicare Benefits Schedule Statistics - People who Did Not Claim a GP Attendance (%) (SA3) 2016-2017

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of people who did not claim a general practitioner (GP) attendance. This has been calculated with the number of people who did not claim a GP attendance, divided by the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) as at 30 June 2016, and multiplied by 100. The data spans the financial year of 2016-2017 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) geographic areas from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).\n\nThe data is sourced from the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) claims data, which are administered by the Australian Government Department of Health. These claims data are derived from administrative information on services that qualify for a Medicare benefit under the Health Insurance Act 1973 and for which a claim is processed by the Department of Human Services.\n\nFor further information about this dataset visit the data source: [Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Medicare Benefits Schedule GP and Specialist Attendances and Expenditure in 2016-17 Data Tables.](https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/health-welfare-expenditure/mbs-gp-and-specialist-attendances-2016-17/data)\n\nPlease note:\n\n * AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.\n\n * MBS claims data do not include services that were provided free of charge to public patients in hospitals or were subsidised by the Department of Veterans' Affairs, compensation arrangements or through other publicly funded programs including jurisdictional salaried GP services provided in remote outreach clinics.\n\n * GP attendances are Medicare benefit-funded patient/doctor encounters, such as visits and consultations, for which the patient has not been referred by another doctor. GP attendances do not include services provided by practice nurses and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners on a GP's behalf.\n\n * Unique GP patients were identified through the Patient Identification Numbers (PINs) in the Medicare claim records.\n

本数据集呈现了未申领全科医生（general practitioner, GP）诊疗服务报销的人群占比情况。该占比通过未申领GP诊疗报销的人数，除以2016年6月30日的估计常住人口（Estimated Resident Population, ERP），再乘以100计算得到。本数据覆盖2016-2017财年，且聚合至2011年澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）框架下的三级统计区域（Statistical Area Level 3, SA3）。

本数据来源于澳大利亚卫生署（Australian Government Department of Health）管理的医疗保险福利计划（Medicare Benefits Schedule, MBS）报销数据。此类报销数据源自符合《1973年健康保险法》规定、可申领医保福利的服务相关行政信息，且相关报销申请已由澳大利亚人类服务部完成审核流程。
