At each visit, all appropriate cards must be sighted and validated. Bulk billing cannot be done if these cards aren’t available.
Bulk billing means the doctor accepts the Medicare benefit as full payment for the services provided, and bills Medicare directly. As a result, you will not have any out-of-pocket expenses. Click here to find out what Medicare covers. There may be a fee for specialised or after-hours consultations.
