PROMO CODES EXHAUSTED: Sorry for everyone who missed out. Unfortunately Apple provides a limit on the number of codes dispensed.
However, please follow ('Like') us on Facebook and if/when more codes become available, we will announce it for sure.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone for their lovely support!

We are Galen Medical - and we create iPhone apps for the Aussie health professional - Made in Australia :)

[HOW TO REDEEM CODE]
In iTunes (iOS device, Mac or PC), scroll down to 'Redeem' and enter promo code. Download. Enjoy :)

[myMBS iPhone App] - Only $3.99 via the App Store http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/mymbs/id412285753?mt=8
Hi folks, we've created an iPhone app, "myMBS", which contains the entire Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule, for doctors, nurses and proceduralists working in the Australian public health system to find item numbers with ease!

The main advantage of our app is the convenience of searching the MBS on your iPhone rather than painstakingly flipping through the traditional bloated white MBS book. Users can also store their most commonly used items for quick referencing. We've also added a calculator to work out assistant fees (useful for surgical assistants). This is the entire MBS - no internet connection required.

Find out more info via the link. Or directly go to the iTunes app page: http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/mymbs/id412285753?mt=8

So, how do I get a promo code for 'myMBS'?
• 'Like' us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Galen-Medical-iPhone-apps/1660…
• PLEASE CONTACT US VIA THE OZBARGAIN CONTACT FORM OR GALEN.COM.AU CONTACT FORM TO RECEIVE YOUR CODE. This is due to the limitation on the number of messages we can send to users.

• We are an Australian based medical-app developer and need your support. This is our first app but we're working hard on our next invention. So, spread the word - and enjoy! :) p.s. a +1 to this post would be great too.

Please contact us if you have any feedback/issues and we'll get back to you asap!

*****Please read the purposes of the app clearly - as it is specifically useful for health professionals only.******

======================================================================
Already in use by doctors in Melbourne hospitals.
If you’d like to promote this app in your own hospital, pls message us for promotional posters.

Thanks, and hope you find it useful :) Galen Medical.

      still waiting on code. have all the codes been given out already?

  • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 15:01

    Hi all, quick update:

    We have a limited number of codes still left in this batch. As such, we will be triaging the remaining codes - so please message us your occupation and intended use of our app.

    Thanks for your interest. And please ensure your colleagues/friends are aware of the existence of 'myMBS' - it sure has been a big time saver for us (yes, we're doctors too!).

    If you work in a hospital or practice setting, why not spread the word with a 'myMBS' A4 poster - message us for more info.

    We are working on our new iPhone app specifically for Aussie doctors - so be sure to follow us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Galen-Medical-iPhone-apps/1660…) or Twitter (http://twitter.com/galenmedical).

  • spikez on 01/02/2011 - 15:05

    great app idea - love to test it out and pass it around the hospital

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 15:16

      Send me your email via msg. And include your ozbargain ID so i know who you are.

    Ahahah I love how many people are asking for codes. I really doubt that out of the 320 people who clicked, 70ish are medical professionals.

    Leave it for people who need them.

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 15:19

      I concur.

      As much as I want to hand out promo codes, Apple only allocates a certain number - and we're getting close to that limit.
      Please msg me 1. What you do and 2. How you would use myMBS

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 15:19

      Double post.
      See above. :)

  • skytree on 01/02/2011 - 15:34

    Good one, please send code, thank you.

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 15:55

      Hi skytree, can you please msg us (via contact form on ozbargain or galen.com.au) your occupation and intended use of myMBS. This is to assist us in allocating the remaining promo codes.

      Thanks.

  • slimdusty on 01/02/2011 - 15:45

    Do I need to include my ozbargain ID in the form in your website? I didn't do that before, just gave my name, email, and the answers to 1. and 2.

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 15:55

      That's fine. We're still working through the large number of requests.

      Thanks.

  • tachikoma on 01/02/2011 - 16:32

    Thanks for this great idea. I'll be msging you for code.

    btw if you develop a program for interns/hmos/residents to simplify wardrounds (given ipad + existing hospital wifi) there will be heaps of interest in that

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 16:38

      Yes, there is a real need for unification and electronisation of medical records across Australian hospitals.

      Message us your user ID in your email. Let me know if you're able to put up a poster ad for us in your hospital.

      cheers.

  • reneeS on 01/02/2011 - 16:44

      Hope to get back to you soon.

      cheers.

  • fish on 01/02/2011 - 17:00

    Why would people want that if they are NOT medical doctor? Basically it just tells you how much you can claim from the government, unless you want to know how much you have been ripped off by the doctor…
    See http://www.health.gov.au/internet/mbsonline/publishing.nsf/C…

    • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 17:05

      People who may be interested:
      1) Doctors (medical, surgeons, dentists)
      2) Nurses - theatre nurses e.g
      3) Physios, Chiro
      4) Radiographers

      5) Lay public - as you implied - anybody who has ever questioned their medical bill can now search the item numbers they are billed and find out exactly how much the recommended Medicare fee is.

      This is a handy app designed for use without an internet connection, so you can carry the entire MBS and access it anywhere.

    • dnovakov on 01/02/2011 - 17:53

      The government has specifically stated that the MBS is in no way meant to reflect what a procedure is worth - only what the government is prepared to rebate you for it. -1 for the being ripped off comment

      • Associatedpwanda @ galen.com.au on 01/02/2011 - 18:00
        +1

        You are correct.

        That was a dodgy statement. I retract that.

        The MBS no ways reflects accurately what an operation/procedure is worth as it does not take into account inflation rates. Hence, most doctors are required to charge in excess of the MBS fee. Otherwise, they would be out of pocket themselves.

  • kwj80430 on 01/02/2011 - 17:12

    I "Like it" Please send m a code, Thank you

    Amazing so many medical professionals @ ozbargain….

  • dnovakov on 01/02/2011 - 17:51

    Would love a code - pls email to [email protected]

  • DKC on 01/02/2011 - 17:56

    For those who think paying any money out of pocket is the same as being ripped off by "greedy doctors":

    The Medicare rebate growth, over the last 25 years, has NOT kept up with inflation, let alone the rising cost of providing health care - cost of new technology, computers, rising staff costs etc.

    From 1985, inflation (CPI) has gone up about 230%, Average income gone up 285%, Medicare rebate (MBS) gone up 170%. Who's paying for the gap?

    eg item 23 - A 20 minute visit to a GP for 1 or more problems pays $34.90.
    NB: How much does a 20 minute visit for 1 or more problems by a plumber/electrician cost? Way more than $34.90.
    NB: a GP went to medical school for 6 years, intern/resident for 2 years, GP training for 3 years (11 years in total).

    See the graph produced by the AMA: http://ama.com.au/node/4134

      We're going through the codes to see if any are unclaimed. If so, we'll be redistributing them.
