GPs who universally bulk-bill will earn $404,000 a year under new incentives, Mark Butler claims
The Health Minister says the modelling shows sceptical GPs are wrong.
Bulk-billing incentives for non-concession card holders will mean GPs at universally bulk-billing city practices will take home $403,805 a year, $5000 more than mixed billing GPs, the Federal Government claims.
Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler has been claiming the $9 billion election pledge will be a massive incentive for GPs to ditch mixed billing without losing money, ensuring that the GPs will bulk-bill 90% of consultations by 2030.
