An Update about the new bulk billing incentive program that started November 1st.
The government's Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) provides payments to practices that bulk bill all patients for all consultations.
Dubbo Family Doctors, following careful consideration, has decided not to participate in this program at this time.
While we support improving affordable healthcare, the program requires 100% bulk billing to receive any payment. Our medical colleges advocated for a different approach that would have better balanced patient affordability with sustainable practice operations.
What are we doing? Our billing practices remain unchanged, and we continue to be committed to providing quality healthcare to our patients.
We understand healthcare costs are important to everyone. If you have questions, please contact us directly.

After months of promotion, the Government’s landmark changes have so far convinced just 13% of metropolitan practices to change to fully bulk billing.
