Bulk Billing is when a provider bills Medicare directly for any medical or allied health service that the patient receives. If a practitioner bulk bills for a service, the practitioner undertakes to accept the relevant Medicare benefit as full payment for the service. Additional charges for that service cannot be raised. |
