If you hold a valid Medicare card, a standard telehealth consult with an AHPRA-registered GP through Prime Medic is bulk billed for eligible patients, so there's no out-of-pocket cost for the consult itself. You can speak with a doctor by phone or video from anywhere in Australia, for everyday health needs such as prescriptions, medical certificates, specialist referrals and general health questions. Consults are available across every state and territory, so you're not limited to what's currently open near you. All you need is a valid Medicare card and a phone or device with video access.
Choose the service you need - GP Consult or mental health plan. Have your Medicare card ready.
Provide your Medicare card number securely. No credit card required for eligible bulk billed consults.
Consult with an AHPRA-registered doctor in under 20-30 minutes. We submit the Medicare claim on your behalf.
Bulk billing at Prime Medic is available to patients who meet the following criteria:
If you meet these criteria, Prime Medic submits your Medicare claim directly on your behalf. You pay nothing out of pocket for eligible bulk billed services - no gap fees, no booking fees, no surprises.
Patients who do not meet all priority criteria may still be eligible for bulk billed consultations. However, these bookings are subject to limited availability, different time slots, and clinical discretion.
Outside of available hours, Prime Medic consults are privately billed. Our private fees start from $37.99 - still significantly lower than most in-person GP gap fees.
A single bulk billed consult can cover more than one need, depending on what your GP assesses as clinically appropriate. Here's what patients most commonly come to Prime Medic for:
If your GP determines a prescription is clinically appropriate, it's issued electronically as bulk billed online scripts, with no pharmacy visit needed to fill a paper script.
Need documentation for work, study or carer's leave? Your GP can issue a bulk billed medical certificate electronically after assessing your situation.
If you need to see a specialist, your GP can issue a bulk billed specialist referral where clinically appropriate, sent electronically to use with the provider of your choice.
Prefer phone over video, or need to understand what's involved first? See bulk billed telehealth appointment options and choose what suits your situation.
Not every consult or service is bulk billed. Here's what you should know:
Understanding the difference helps you know what to expect at your appointment.
