Payment Information
Forrest Road Medical Centre is a mixed billing practice that provides bulk billing to concession card holders, pensioners and children 16 years and under.
Bulk billing is when a medical provider doesn’t bill you, the patient, but instead bills Medicare directly, accepting the Medicare benefit as full payment.
How Does Bulk Billing Work?
In a practice where bulk billing is featured, this means that you pass your right to a Medicare benefit on to your service provider, allowing Medicare to pay your doctor directly. This allows you to visit your doctor without any out-of-pocket expense.
When you come in for your first visit, Forrest Road Medical Centre will either have you:
- ﮲Sign a form
or
- Press “OK” on the EFTPOS terminal following your appointment.
It’s as simple as that!
