Bulk Billing

Bulk billing is an arrangement where a doctor accepts the Medicare rebate as full payment and bills Medicare directly, so the patient pays nothing at the time of the visit. It has become less common across Australia as practice costs have risen faster than rebates.

Private clinics, including most dedicated telehealth services, charge a set consultation fee rather than bulk billing. Holistica Health operates on transparent fixed fees with no bulk billing, which is stated up front on every service page.
