All you need to know about the new bulk-billing incentives
SPONSORED: The RACGP and Cubiko have partnered for a series of webinars exploring how GPs and practices can prepare for 1 November changes.
In the weeks ahead of significant bulk-billing reform, the webinars will help RACGP members navigate the changes.
Are you ready for the 1 November changes to bulk-billing incentives?
With significant reforms now just around the corner, the RACGP is hosting a series of webinars in partnership with Cubiko designed to help GPs and general practices around the country decide whether they will sign up to the bulk-billing practice incentive payment, and how to adapt if so.
The webinars, which began last month and will run through until mid-October, include presentations and insight from RACGP President Dr Michael Wright, RACGP Vice-President and WA Chair Dr Ramya Raman, and RACGP Board and SA Chair Dr Siân Goodson, as well as other RACGP representatives.
‘These are significant changes – our goal is to support every member through the preparation, whichever way the practice and practitioners decide regarding the incentive programs,’ Dr Raman said.
‘We’re pleased to be partnering with health industry experts at Cubiko in these webinars, helping GPs and clinics make sense of the changes and put the best systems in place for their patients.’
Cubiko CEO Chris Smeed will also be among the speakers, sharing real-world strategies and insights to help practices navigate any changes they choose to make.
The webinars, which are also being recorded for on-demand consumption, are themed as follows:
During the course of the webinars, attendees will discover more on how the changes affect different business models, including bulk billing, mixed billing and private practices; gain practical guidance on interpreting the changes and updating processes as well as tracking the right indicators to stay compliant and sustainable; hear advice on how to avoid workflow and revenue disruption; gain insights into what practices might need to change operationally and financially to remain compliant; receive guidance on monitoring financial and performance indicators to support sustainability; and explore a full suite of practical tools and resources.
The webinars run until 15 October. You can view the program and register here.
