What This Means for Our Patients
For eligible Medicare patients, consultations are billed directly to Medicare, so there is no gap fee or need to submit a claim afterwards. While some procedures, forms, specialised treatments, or other non-Medicare services may still incur a fee, eligible consultations remain bulk billed in line with Medicare guidelines. This helps ensure accessible, convenient, and affordable healthcare whenever you need to see your GP.

What is the Bulk Billing Incentive Program?
The Bulk Billing Incentive Program helps medical practices continue providing affordable healthcare by supporting clinics that bulk bill a high proportion of eligible patients. For Medicare card holders, eligible consultations are billed directly to Medicare, meaning there is no out-of-pocket consultation fee. The additional incentive paid to participating practices helps make bulk billing sustainable while improving access to essential healthcare services across Australia.
