Echuca Moama Family Medical Practice is a private practice. In most cases, we are able to use Easy-claim or Patient Claiming to assist in claiming your Medicare rebate. Easy-claim rebates are able to be credited using your key card to a cheque or savings account instantly. Patient claiming uses the details Medicare have on their file to deposit your rebate back into your nominated bank account (generally processed overnight). Bulk billing is at the discretion of the treating doctor, not the reception staff.
