Fee Changes
From January 2020 most doctors will charge people with a Health Care Card a $10, $20 or $30 gap depending on the time and complexity of the consultation. Some doctors currently do not offer bulk billing to children under aged 16, and this will apply more broadly to those not on low income pensions from 2020. NOTE: This is due to the persisting medicare rebate freeze and the reduced medicare rebate that we will receive when we bulk bill with health care cards and pension cards from 2020. |
