New Healius boss promises to consult with GPs on bulk-billing
The 1200 GP working at Healius will be consulted on the future of the corporate’s bulk-billing policies, its new boss has indicated.
Last week, Andrew Cohen was named its CEO, after the company was sold in June to a private equity firm for $500 million.
He says he plans to spend the next six months asking GPs their views on its future.
Historically, Healius GP practices have been known for offering universal bulk-billing based on a walk-in, walk-out appointment system.
