I am a medical billing a coding specialist and I have recently learned a bit about bulk bulk billing medical centres. What exactly are they? Is that just a medical facility that bills differently than other medical facilities? What would be the greatest resources to get more information? Could I ask this sort of thing to my family practice doctor?

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

1. Make an appointment time that suits you. Evenings or weekends can often be a convenient time to see the doctor.

2. Make a list of issues that you would like to discuss with the doctor. This allows you to convey your thoughts more clearly when you’re in the doctor’s room. It does not mean that the doctor will fix your whole list of problems in one visit, but you can plan follow-up visits so that you and the doctor can work through these issues in order of priority.

3. Turn up on time. By turning up late to an appointment you make it much more difficult for the doctor to work through your problems and it also makes the doctor run late.

4. Turn off your mobile phone. Nobody likes it when people take phone calls during an appointment - you can return the call after the appointment.

5. Have an open mind. Often patients have a pre-conceived idea on the outcome of an appointment. For example, antibiotic treatment for a common cold. The doctor is a health expert that is there to give you the best advice possible. Listen to what the doctor has to say and then discuss your concerns. Often what your friends or family have told you is needed for your problem is not consistent with evidence based medical practice.

6. Most importantly – communicate. Often patients are reluctant to talk to the doctor because they are embarrassed or confused. Ask questions, the doctor is there to help you.

So there you have it. A few pointers to help you get the most out of your appointment. If you have any questions, just ask one of the front desk staff. Also, please leave any feedback you have about the clinic on one of the feedback forms on the front desk. Have a great day.
