【報告:過半診所額外收費】邊度仲搵到Bulk-bill家庭醫生?

一份最新的醫療保健報告顯示,全國超過一半家庭醫生診所,已決定向客人收取「刷醫療卡」(Bulk-bill)以外的「額外診金」。報告亦例出仍然「免費」(只按刷醫療卡收費)的家庭醫生診所地區。

A joint investigation by ABC, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald says Medicare is rorted by up to $8 billion a year.

但該份名為的報告,由倡議組織the Cleanbill 對全國 4,188 家全科醫生(家庭醫生)診所進行調查,」(Bulk-bill)。

相反,57.3% 的醫療中心或診所則會對約 15 分鐘的診症時間平均收取 40 元的額外診金,亦有郵政編碼地區的診所額外收費可高達接近$80。

報告亦發現,目前仍有 105 個郵政編碼的診金,仍然是完全只以刷卡收費,但這些診所或中心全要集中在全國兩大城市,當中又以大雪梨區的比例最高(67.3%)、大墨爾本區則有39.0%的診所會只按刷卡收費。

在雪梨及墨爾本以外,只有不到三分之一的全科醫生診所,會向所有患者進行只用刷醫療卡收費,在塔州及首都領地,這個數字接近只有二十分之一的水平。

大布里斯本區域(29.8%)、大珀斯區域(29.2%)、大阿德雷德區域( 27.8%)、北領地(20.6%),有醫生不收取額外的郵政編碼地區則全部不足三成。

塔州及首都領地的情況則更差,分別只有6.9%及5.1%的郵政編碼地區的診所,全只以刷卡收費。

報告顯示新州雪梨以東,離中央商務區CBD只有5公里的Woollahra為高額外診症收費的地區,患者在刷卡以外,平均仍需額外支付$76.92;雪梨的Rosebay排第二($68.25),墨爾本港(Port Melbourne)則排第三($60.25)。

同時報告亦發現,在接受調查的全科醫生診所中,有8.8%(369 間)決定不收新症,進一步限制居民在區內獲得基本醫療服務的可能性。


報告亦顯示,全國仍有 105 個郵政編碼地區,市民仍可 100% 用刷卡方式支付醫療診症費用(注:以下資訊只供參考,實際收費按個別診所或中心提供的資料為準):
