WE ARE NOW A FULLY BULK BILLING PRACTICE
📢 We are so proud to announce that starting Tuesday April 14th, Langford Medical Centre will be fully bulk billing!
What does this mean for our community moving forward?
If you hold a valid Medicare card, there will be no out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-eligible consultations.
What does bulk-billing cover?
Most standard consultations will be covered. Some procedures like iron transfusions, commercial drivers license and employment physicals may still come with a private fee. We are always happy to let you know up front, so if you are not sure just ask!
Who is eligible?
Unfortunately, bulk-billing only applies to those who hold a valid Medicare card. For those without a Medicare card, standard fees will still apply.
What do I need to do on the day of my appointment?
Make sure to bring your Medicare card and remember that after your appointment you will still need to check in with us at the front desk to sign a Medicare form so that we can process the claim for you.
If you need more details, please contact us! We are here to help you out 🩺“
