i don't believe there is any legal requirement to use item numbers on any medical accounts


I am certain you are correct which was the basis of my quote. If the patient is to receive a rebate then the description of the service must contain the elements of the relevant item descriptor in the Medicare Schedule of Benefits - that is an easy matter to include in any billing system. Keeps big brother off your back too - they could never get you for Medicare fraud - provided you didn't lie with the description, any errors would be theirs!
