Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP)

The Australian Government has announced its intention to expand bulk billing eligibility to all Australians and introduce a Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program for practices registered with MyMedicare, starting 1 November 2025.

EXPANDED BULK BILLING ELIGIBILITY:

Starting 1 November 2025, all Australians with a valid Medicare card will be eligible for bulk billing incentives. This marks a major expansion from the current eligibility, which is limited to:

  • Children under 16
  • Commonwealth Concession Card holders

This change allows all general practices to participate in the expanded bulk billing program.

BULK BILLING PRACTICE INCENTIVE PROGRAM (BBPIP):

The Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) introduces a new financial incentive for practices registered with MyMedicare.

Key Features:

  • A 12.5% loading payment on every dollar of MBS benefit earned from GP non-referred attendance (NRA) services.
  • The incentive will be shared between the GP and the practice (details on the split to be confirmed).

Participation Requirements:

To be eligible for BBPIP, practices must:

  • Commit to bulk billing all GP NRA services
  • Advertise their participation within the practice and on Healthdirect’s National Health Services Directory
  • Be registered with MyMedicare
    (Note: Accreditation requirements will be waived for two years for practices joining the program)
