The AMA has told patients that no single episode of specialist care should have more than one bill, as part of its new guide on informed financial consent.

Bill-splitting, including ‘booking’ and ‘administration’ fees, has been condemned by the AMA amid concerns that some specialists use it to earn extra on ‘no-gap’, privately insured services.
