From 1 November 2025 doctors at Pulse Medical will trial the new bulk-billing incentive program introduced by Services Australia for eligible GP services!

If you are Medicare-eligible (i.e., you hold a current valid Medicare card) you will be bulk billed for eligible GP services at our practice, meaning no out-of-pocket cost for those services.

Important details & what to expect:

• The bulk billing applies only to services that are on the eligible services list (for example standard GP consultations, chronic disease management, health assessments) as defined by the Medicare Benefits Schedule Bulk Billing Incentive Items (BBI) changes.
• If you require a service not on the eligible list (for example some procedural services, pregnancy consultations, or special Medicare items), there may still be an out-of-pocket fee (gap fee) required. This means we will bulk bill when we can, but not every service will be free.

What you should do:

• Bring your Medicare card to each appointment.
• Complete MyMedicare registration with your preferred GP at Pulse Medical.
• If you are charged out-of-pocket fee, please ask us which part of the service is not covered under the bulk-bill program.
• Please do not blame or abuse our staff for inadequate funding provided by Medicare for certain services.

We are working hard to help make primary care more accessible for our community, and we look forward to your support. Thank you for trusting us with your health.
