A new report by a GP listing company made headlines this week showing low rates of bulk billing for GP visits across Australia. Bulk billing means the consultation is free for the patient and the GP accepts what Medicare covers (the “benefit” or “rebate”) as the full payment. The highest reported bulk billing rate was in New South Wales (34.5%) and the lowest in the ACT (3.3%) and Tasmania (0%). This caused the Tasmanian health minister to declare bulk billing “dead” in her state.

对于很多澳大利亚人来说，能够负担得起医疗服务是他们面临的迫切问题。鼓励家庭医生为病人提供全额报销（Bulk Bill）是政府为缓解其压力而采取的一项措施。 那么，家庭医生如何能为每个病人都提供全额报销呢？我们在最近的研究中计算出，考虑到目前的医疗预算，这是可能且负担得起的。 但我们发现，最近政府鼓励家庭医生提供全额报销的激励措施不足以令我们实现这个目标。 相反，我们需要调整医疗政策，提高全额报销金额，使我们的医疗系统更具持续性。 近年来，政府推出各种激励措施来尝试和鼓励家庭医生提供全额报销（因此病人无需自付费用）。 最近的一项是“三重全额报销激励措施”或简称“三重津贴（triple bonus）”。这些措施自 2023 年 11 月起开始实施。 全额报销是一项长期投资，可以延缓病症，并防止病人因贫穷而导致无法就医。 Credit: Shutterstock 根据这些激励措施，对持有优惠卡（concession...
