General practices and providers can now monitor and confirm eligibility for Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) incentive payments with new eligibility assessments available through Services Australia.
Practices and providers can use:
- Forecast assessments to monitor and confirm eligibility for BBPIP incentive payments and check if there are any issues with registration or eligible item claims
- Final assessments to confirm if they have met all BBPIP requirements and view the corresponding incentive payment after the end of the quarter.
- BBPIP payment details to view the Services Australia incentive payment for each quarterly assessment period, available after the quarter ends.
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, even if they previously provided bank account details for other programs.
- Keep accreditation up to date.
- Link all providers with separate provider numbers for each site.
