Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your most important questions
Should I make the switch from Mixed Billing to Bulk Billing?
This will vary for each practice. We recommend reviewing your practice data to determine if switching to Bulk Billing is financially feasible. You can use Cubiko’s 2025 Bulk Billing Incentive Changes dashboard, which analyses your historical services and billings in a chosen date range and projects potential billings under the new arrangements. Alternatively, you can download Cubiko’s 2025 Medicare Incentive Tool for an approximation of how the proposed changes may affect your practice.
Do you have any resources to help with the upcoming changes?
Yes. All of Cubiko’s resources are available via our Bulk Billing Incentive Resource Hub. This hub brings together practical tools, webinars, guides and updates to support your practice in preparing for the new arrangements.
Will this webinar be recorded?
Yes. The webinar will be recorded, and a copy will be sent to all registrants after the live session.
Will I receive CPD for attending these webinars?
Cubiko is working with the RACGP to offer CPD for our Bulk Billing Incentive webinars. Once approved, the landing page will be updated to reflect the number of hours available.
If you attend live, your CPD will be uploaded automatically within 30 days. If you watch the recording, you can QuickLog your CPD hours directly in your RACGP CPD Home.
