求助，我想问下bulk bill 具体是指啥？什么意思啊。

雷囧

有谁懂的满帆帮着解释下吧。谢谢啊

大概是这个意思 ：在看病的时候，有的practice 可以做Bulk Bill， 意味着你只需要划你的Medicare卡来付费。月底的时候，Practice直接向Medicare要钱。如果不做Bulk bill的呢，你要先行垫付看病的费用，然后去Medicare那里申请refund. 当然，有的做Bulk Bill的，你还需要支付一个Gape， 就是Medicare支付的费用和Practice Charge的费用直接的差额。大概就这样。

就是刷卡收费啊 但是不需要你付费 比如你有个医保卡你签字了 然后就寄给你医保公司去了...2000金给我啊..............

我想说的他们都是说完了，是不是也可以。。。。。。

Bulk billing is a payment option under the Medicare system of universal health insurance in Australia. The health service provider, usually a Doctor is paid 85% of the scheduled fee directly by the government by billing the patient via their Medicare card. The service provider receives only 85% of the scheduled fee but avoids the costs and risks of billing and debt collection. It could be described as a form of factoring.

The alternative to bulk billing is for the service provider to collect the fee directly from the patient (there is no restriction on this fee, which is determined by the provider). In order to claim the Medicare rebate, the patient then has to visit a Medicare office, fill out a claim form (for unpaid claims and claims where cash is not being refunded) and claim 75% of the scheduled fee from the government (100% for general practitioner services).[1]

Under Medicare, it is not permissible to charge the patient a co-payment with bulk billing (although this was previously permissible): a service provider who bulk bills for a service may not charge the patient further for that service.

Service providers may choose whether or not to use bulk billing. Most general practitioner services are bulk-billed, but less so in more affluent areas and in rural, regional and remote areas of Australia where there is a greater shortage of doctors and health care services. The key purpose of bulk billing is to provide an economic constraint on medical fees and charges.
