Important Note Regarding Specialist Consultations
Specialist consultations (MBS items 104 and 105) are privately billed and attract an out-of-pocket fee. Bulk billing for consultation items is exceptional and is not standard practice. This agreement is primarily utilised for specific eligible procedural services or pre-arranged bulk-billed items.
Assignment of Benefit Agreement
As the patient, or as the parent, legal guardian, or carer authorised to sign on behalf of the patient, I assign my right to benefits to the health professional who rendered the service(s).
