Our practice has signed up to be a Medicare Bulk Billing Practice.

This means we will bulk bill all Medicare-eligible patients for all eligible services under the program.

​

All GPs must bulk bill you for all eligible services at this practice.

Bulk billing means we accept the Medicare benefit as full payment for a service, and you don’t have to pay any gap fee.

​

Eligible services

You will be bulk billed for eligible services under the program.

These services include:

​

• GP consultations

• Chronic condition management plans and reviews

• Mental health treatment plans

• Health assessments.

 

Some services won’t be bulk billed, so you may still have to pay a fee for these services. These services are not eligible under the program and include:

​

• Procedures like skin excisions

• Iron Infusions

• Travel Vaccinations

• Allied health and other non-GP services.

• Medical Reports

 

Patients without a Medicare number

If a patient’s Medicare eligibility cannot be determined or the patient does not have a Medicare card number at the time of service, the practice may not be able to bulk bill. If this situation arises, you should discuss the options with your practice.

​

If you are eligible for Medicare at the time of the service, we may hold the account for you until you are able to provide us with your Medicare number.

​

Patients who may not have a Medicare card number include newborn babies, newly arrived migrants or overseas visitors under a reciprocal healthcare agreement.

Please call to enquire about fees for non-Medicare card holders.
