The Practice Nurse Incentive Program (PNIP) starts on 1 January 2012 and provides incentive payments to practices to support an expanded and enhanced role for nurses working in general practice. The PNIP aims to simplify financing arrangements by consolidating funding arrangements under the Practice Incentive Program (PIP) Practice Nurse Incentive and six of the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) practice nurse items and redirecting them into a single payment to eligible general practices.
From December 31, 2011 the following MBS Practice Nurse Items will no longer be available: 10993, 10994, 10995, 10996, 10998 and 10999.

The PNIP Incentive Payment Calculator is designed to assist practices to estimate the incentive amount that a practice may receive. This tool only provides an estimate of the incentive payment a practice may be eligible for under the PNIP and is provided for your information only. The estimate should not be relied upon as the incentive payment you may be eligible to receive under the Practice Nurse Incentive Program. An accurate assessment can only be made by Medicare Australia through the application process once the program has commenced on 1 January 2012.
