π’ Important Medicare Bulk Billing Changes β Effective 1 July 2026
From 1 July 2026, Medicare requires patients to provide consent for all bulk billed services before a Medicare claim can be processed.
To make this process as quick and convenient as possible, we encourage all patients to download the HotDoc app and ensure notifications are enabled.
Through the HotDoc app, you can:
β
Receive appointment reminders
β
Complete Medicare bulk billing consent forms electronically
β
Reduce paperwork and waiting times at reception
β
Help avoid delays at your next appointment
If you receive a Medicare Consent Form via email or the HotDoc app, please complete it before attending your appointment.
Patients who do not provide consent for bulk billed services cannot be bulk billed, as Medicare requires patient consent before a claim can be submitted.
π± Download the HotDoc app today and be ready for the changes coming into effect on 1 July 2026.
If you have any questions, please contact our reception team.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
