No tripled bulk-billing incentives for level A consults, health officials say
For longer video telehealth items, the incentives will be restricted to patients who register via MyMedicare.
Bulk-billed level A consults will only attract the existing bulk-billing incentives — $6.60 in metropolitan areas — even after new incentives worth three times as much are introduced in November.
While hinted at in the federal budget, health officials have now confirmed that level A consults will be excluded, while revealing new details on the MyMedicare patient enrolment scheme.
