Re: Dentist
No Dentists Bulk Bill. You have no options but to pay or have insurance.
Unless you have a concession card, and use the Public Dental Hospitals.

My friend had been to the doctor and the doctor gave him a referral form for dental services under medicare. Eligble patients (which he is) may access medicare benefits of up to $4,250 in total over two consecutive years for dental services provided under items 85011-87777.
I have searched in medicare but cant figure it all out!

Some dentists will, by negotiation, allow an account, so that time is available for the Medicare claim to be made, and then passed back to the dentist.
You would need to ask the local dentists if they will do this.

I see. I do know of one dentist that bulk bills Enhanced Primary Care Patients follow-up reviews, but all surgical work needs paying for first, and then the patient claims it back.
