Bega Valley Medical Practice

01/11/2025

BVMP NEWS: From 1 November we will become a fully bulk-billed medical practice. The team at BVMP are pleased to help remove the barrier of cost and allow us to continue to provide quality health care to our patients.

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.

Stomach cramps? 😵 Vomiting? 🤮
It’s easy to get confused whether it’s the stomach flu or food poisoning - both are forms of gastro (Gastroenteritis) and have very similar symptoms!

But there’s a key difference to help you tell them apart! It depends on what exact bacteria or virus you’ve been exposed to!

Stomach flu is viral while food poisoning is bacterial!

In both cases, if symptoms are mild self-care at home is enough for recovery. Focus on resting and staying hydrated. But if you struggle to keep down fluids, notice blood or mucous in your vomit or symptoms last longer than 3 days see your GP.

Save this post so you’ll prepared if the time comes! 🌟
