CAN I BE BULK BILLED?
Doctors spend more than 8 years studying medicine at university
and the cost towards fees and insurance can make it hard for
Doctors to afford to Bulk Bill all patients. Each Doctor is
individual and has had a certain level of experience in medicine
and therefore they make the decision to Bulk Bill or not.
The Doctors at this practice will ONLY Bulk Bill:
Health Care Card Holders, Pension Card Holders, Senior Card Holders, Students with Valid Identification, Children under 16 years and Patients over 65 years.
BULK BILLING is also available with a Medicare Card after 2pm with one of our Doctors*
At Broadbeach General Practice each doctor has a separate
billing system, so it depends which doctor you will see. If you
pay the full fee, you are always able to claim a refund from
Medicare. You can claim the refund directly at the reception
desk into your debit card provided you have both your Medicare
card and debit card handy.
