What does Bulk Billing mean?
ulk billing is a Medicare payment arrangement where a healthcare provider accepts the applicable Medicare benefit as full payment for an eligible medical service.
For an eligible bulk-billed GP consultation, you don’t pay the consultation fee at the time of your appointment. Instead, Supernova submits the Medicare claim and Medicare pays the benefit directly to the practice.
You will need to be enrolled in Medicare and the service must be eligible for bulk billing.
How Bulk Billing Works?
1
Bring Your Card
Have your Medicare card or Medicare details available when you attend your appointment.
2
See Your GP
Discuss your health concerns, symptoms or ongoing healthcare needs with your doctor.
3
Medicare Benefit
For an eligible bulk-billed service, the Medicare benefit is assigned to the practice as payment for the consultation.
No consultation payment at the time of an eligible bulk-billed visit.
