Billing Policy

We offer assignment of benefits (bulk billing) to Pensioners, Health care card holders and DVA Gold card holders.

The treating doctor can also request that a patient be bulk billed by indicating on the pathology request form.

On our request forms there is a ‘Billing Instructions’ area for the clinician to indicate:

· Schedule fee

· Private (AMA rates)

· Medicare (Bulk billing)

· Veteran Affairs

· Other (Workers’ compensation, Pre employment medicals, Life insurance, overseas patients etc)

If the request form does not have:

· Bulk billing indicated, and

· Patient Medicare number, and

· Patient signature ,or

· Specifies another billing classification

Then Davies Campbell de Lambert will issue an account to the patient with the fee set at the AMA recommended rate.
