Altona Gate Medical Centre change the billing policy from bulk billing clinic to mixed billing clinic for all patients, both new and existing, from Monday 09/01/2023, the 9th of January 2023.
However, bulk billing will continue for around 70% of our existing patients according to the information below.
The reasons for our change in policy:
It is with a heavy heart that we announce a change to our billing policy. Providing excellent healthcare to our patients has always been our top priority, and we have been a bulk-billing practice for a long time because we believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare. However, the reimbursement we receive from Medicare does not cover the costs of operating our clinic and delivering the high level of care that we strive for.
