Bulk Billing

We care about our community’s health and well-being and believe uncompromised healthcare should be available to all Patients through the Medicare Benefits Schedule. Cooloola Coast General Practice is a Bulk Billing Practice and all of our Doctors Bulk Bill to Patients with a current Medicare Card on all MBS items.

Some services/procedures may attract a charge; a comprehensive list of fees is available from our Admin team upon request.
