MBS-billed Specialist Outpatient Clinics at Bendigo Hospital
The clinics below are MBS-billed services. Bendigo Health on behalf of the specialists’ will bulk bill the cost of
the consultation through Medicare. There is no out of pocket expense to patients. MBS-billed services
require a current referral to a nominated specialist as below. Please provide your patient with a 12 month
referral. Please note your patient may at times be seen by another specialist of the same discipline with
equal qualifications in order to expedite their treatment.
MBS-billing for some outpatient services is in line with the Department of Human Services
recommendations, and assists in addressing the costs associated with the growing demand for health
services. For further information regarding MBS-billed specialist clinics please see Specialist Clinics in
Victorian Public Hospitals - a resource kit for MBS-billed services
