Govt to cut time limit for doctors lodging bulk-billed Medicare claims
The government claims the changes will save $34 million over four years.
The Senate is preparing to vote on laws that would cut the time limit for lodging bulk-billed claims from two years after the service took place to 12 months.
The change, flagged in last year’s federal budget, would save the health budget $34 million over four years by reducing incorrect or fraudulent Medicare claims, according to health officials.
