The govt isn’t telling the whole truth on bulk-billing — yet another job for practices

Practices have to explain details to frustrated patients that 30-second ads leave out, says AAPM CEO Miranda Grace.

The Albanese Government is spending billions to increase bulk-billing rates — and it wants voters to know.

This year it started telling patients through newspaper and television ads that “Medicare’s got the bill”.

But Miranda Grace, CEO of the Australian Association of Practice Management (AAPM), says it means practices are left to explain how the system really works.

The Australian Government’s recent advertising campaign promoting expanded support for bulk-billing has generated significant attention among patients and the broader community.
