Medicare Bulk Billing Update

The Medicare Bulk Billing update automates the Bulk Billing Incentive Program for Pracsoft 4.3.

The Medicare Bulk Billing update for Pracsoft 4.3 automates the incentives in the Commonwealth's Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program. After installing this update, from 1 November 2025, Pracsoft will automatically calculate and apply the bulk billing incentive payments for all patients who are eligible for Medicare and receiving Medicare-eligible items.

To be eligible for Medicare, the patient must:
  • Have a valid Medicare card.
  • Pass an OPV check.
To identify a visit as bulk billed, in the Record Visit window, the practitioner selects Bulk Bill in the Invoice to field. This is the same as in earlier versions of Pracsoft.
Note:
These changes do not affect DVA visits.
