Medicare Bulk Billing Practice

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.

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

However, fees may apply for some non-eligible services (for example, clinical procedures or non-MBS services), including:

  • Procedures like skin excisions
  • Diagnostic services like ECG and pathology
  • Allied health and other non-GP services
  • Non-MBS services
  • Iron infusion (where not Medicare-eligible)
  • Patients without a Medicare number
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, please discuss the options with our team.

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