Govt releases more case studies on the riches GPs will enjoy with a return to universal bulk-billing
Financial advantages for different-sized practices revealed in fact sheets on the program.
The Federal Government has drawn up three more case studies allegedly showing the dramatic increases in revenue for small, medium and large practices if they universally bulk-bill.
From November, GPs will be offered tripled bulk-billing incentives for non-concessional patients and a slice of a 12.5% loading payment in return for bulk-billing everyone who walks through the door.
Government ministers claim the reforms will mean some 4800 practices will be bulk-billing all patients by 2030.
In new modelling, the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing suggests that large bulk-billing practices and their GPs will be more than $300,000 better off after ditching co-pays.
