Practices and providers can use:

• Forecast assessments to check eligibility requirements, monitor bulk billing percentages, and estimate practice payments at any point in the quarter.
• Final assessments to confirm if requirements for BBPIP payments have been met, and view the final payment after the end of the quarter.

If a practice is registered and meets program requirements, its first BBPIP incentive payment will be made in January 2026.

To ensure smooth payment, practices should:

• Check the registration start date.
• Provide bank details for the practice and all linked providers for BBPIP.
• Keep accreditation up to date.
• Link all providers with separate provider numbers for each site.
