Bulk billing of claims at a Campus Health Centre
Students who attend the Campus Health Centres may have their consultation fees billed directly to the insurer by the University. This service means that the student will not have to pay for the consultation provided the reason for the attendance is covered by the policy and is not excluded. Students should seek confirmation from the attending GP or nurse that the consultation is eligible for bulk billing.

Family members who attend Campus Health Centres cannot have their attendance fees bulk billed.

Bulk billing of claims at an approved pharmacy
Prescriptions that arise from a consultation at a Campus Health Centre where the attendance was approved by the GP for bulk billing, can be bulk billed directly to the insurer.
