General practices across Australia can now register for the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP).
The BBPIP commenced on 1 November 2025, alongside expanded eligibility for Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) bulk billing incentives, which now apply to all Medicare-eligible patients.
BBPIP provides an additional quarterly 12.5% incentive payment on MBS benefits paid from eligible bulk billed services, split 50/50 between the GP and the practice.
A calculator is available to help GPs and practice managers estimate the financial benefits of adopting a bulk billing model and joining BBPIP.
For more details visit: health.gov.au/BBPIP.
To support practices in adopting the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP), we’ve created practical resources to guide planning and implementation. Access the Bulk Billing Planning Kit and the Bulk Billing Checklist to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and ensure compliance with program requirements.
The Bulk Billing Incentives Calculator helps practice managers and GPs estimate payments from MBS bulk billing incentives and the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program. The calculator can support decision making by comparing different patient billing scenarios. Visit the department’s website to use the calculator.
For practices continuing to operate a mixed billing model, the RACGP publish materials for practices to help plan and communicate billing arrangements to patients.
