What is Bulk Billing?
Bulk billing is a payment option where healthcare providers bill Medicare directly for their services. This means patients pay nothing out of pocket for their consultation.
How Does It Work?
When you visit a bulk billing clinic like Sunrise Family Medical Centre:
- You present your Medicare card at reception
- The doctor provides your consultation
- We bill Medicare directly on your behalf
- You pay nothing - it's completely free
Why We Bulk Bill 100%
At Sunrise Family Medical Centre, we believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare regardless of their financial situation. That's why we bulk bill 100% of our consultations.
Who is Eligible?
All Australian Medicare card holders are eligible for bulk billing at our clinic. This includes:
- Australian citizens
- Permanent residents
- Some temporary visa holders
