BVMP News - November 2025
From 1 November Bega Valley Medical Practice will become a fully bulk-billed medical practice.
Currently, GPs only receive Medicare bulk billing incentives if they bulk bill children under 16 and Commonwealth concession card holders. From 1 November 2025 all Australians with a Medicare card will be eligible for bulk billing incentives.
The team at BVMP are delighted to be part of this government initiative to help remove the barrier of cost and allow us to continue to provide quality health care to our patients.
Important to note: Although most standard GP consultations will be bulk billed, some appointments such as commercial driver’s licences, travel advice and certain procedures and vaccinations may still require a fee as these are not covered by Medicare.
Please remember to keep our reception team informed of any changes to your demographic information and check we have your current Medicare details on file.
This is a great time for you to register with MyMedicare. This program formalizes the relationship between you and your regular healthcare team, leading to better continuity of care. Benefits include access to longer telehealth consultations and can provide better support for people with chronic diseases.
You can register through your Medicare online account or the Express Plus Medicare mobile app, provided you have a Medicare or Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) card. Alternatively, you can choose to complete a registration form by clicking here or ask our reception team.
If you have any questions please let us know.
