Hi there,

a silly question maybe.

Are all doctors/G.P registered with medicare meaning one can consult any of them.. Otherwise how to recognise those who are registered and who accepts bulk billing...

All doctors are within the Medicare system. They can't operate without a provider number which is issued by Medicare.

To find out if they bulk-bill - you just ask them.
