Managing Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) participation is now easier with Services Australia’s eligibility assessments.
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.
