# Get All MBS Items

GET https://api.rebateright.com.au/MedicareItems

This endpoint retrieves the list of all ~6,000 MBS items.

#### 🎨 **How It Works**

- Sources data from MBS and enriches it with RebateRight details.

- Each item includes **MBS notes** and additional insights including the **limitation period**, specifying how often an item can be claimed within a given timeframe (e.g., **twice in a 12-month period**).

> 🔍 **Sample only** — the example below shows 3 items. The live API returns the full MBS catalogue (~6,000 items), with `ItemsCount` reflecting the real total.
