What does bulk billing mean?
Bulk billing means that a Medicare-eligible consultation or procedure is billed directly to Medicare, resulting in no out-of-pocket cost for eligible patients.
Bulk billing availability depends on:
- Medicare and MyMedicare eligibility
- The type and length of consultation or procedure
- The clinical circumstances of the appointment
- The individual doctor’s billing arrangements
Reception staff can assist with general billing enquiries at the time of booking.
