Subscription-based GP practice to open new clinics amid Medicare bulk-billing upheaval

Referring to the upcoming changes to the bulk-billing incentive, Evercare CEO Steven Dahl says, 'It’s going to get messy.'

A GP practice that charges membership fees for no-gap consults is opening two new practices, unfazed that the tripling of bulk-billing incentives could threaten the business model.

Evercare, which opened in Brisbane in 2023, has 10 GPs and more than 3000 patients — and plans to open two new practices nearby this year.

Patients pay a $45 monthly membership fee for unlimited ‘no-gap’ appointments — without bulk-billing incentives, which could breach Medicare rules — with GPs keeping 100% of billings.

Evercare CEO Steven Dahl said the looming spectre of bulk-billing incentives tripling on 1 November had partly contributed to the decision to expand.
