Bulk Billing Incentive item numbers

Page contents: Overview | Download

Overview

The Commonwealth provides additional incentive payments for GPs who bulk bill concession card holders or children aged under 16 years. To receive the incentive payment for a service, the GP needs to claim a separate MBS item (a bulk billing incentive item) in addition to the relevant MBS item for the service provided to the patient in the first instance. If a patient is bulk billed for more than one MBS item during a visit, then it is acceptable to claim the bulk billing incentive more than once.
