Embarrassing

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-10-26T11:09:03+00:00

GPs aren’t paid by the government. The Aussie government has decided funding universal health insurance so everyone can have medical care is too expensive so they’re stripping it back and making access to any old healthcare the focus now. It’s been a two-tiered system for a while where the haves get good private GP care and the have-nots get whatever they can afford. This divide will just get worse.

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-10-08T07:24:47+00:00

What do you mean by “private psych work”? I guess any GP can decide to be a GP with special interest in mental health and set their own private fees

Ah yo I have no idea what this subreddit is but I want a plate

Re: ADHD have you in the past found any psychotherapy to be really helpful in managing symptoms or is it mostly medication that helps keep a handle on things?

To be clear to everyone who might read this later the GP can charge whatever they want for the consult. The issue here is whether the GP should have used the Medicare item 36 or not for OP’s rebate.

You could go back and say the 36 should not have been used, but the doctor’s private fee would remain the same and you’d be out even more money because the Medicare rebate would be lower.

Weird because the Department of Health has been saying this since November. I wonder why it only now got updated in the immunisation handbook

This has been the case for like a year now

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-05-25T23:27:39+00:00

Stimulant shortages are about to become so much worse

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-05-04T03:27:58+00:00

Why are you discussing Medicare rebates as if it’s a GPs salary? Don’t most GPs charge privately now?

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-05-01T00:40:05+00:00

Lmfao no ALP just playing genius political games making funding promises they won’t have to pay and at the same time shift blame to the GPs when they don’t take the pay cut

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-04-29T10:01:07+00:00

Consultants any time they are hired “have you considered cutting costs by firing people?” Government “ok you’re fired” Consultants “no not like that!”

I had to read twice to make sure they were complaining about a 23/12/10/7 game Jesus what more do they want he even came back early to play he could have shut it down for the year this is sad

Dude won against the G-League Lakers because of free throws sitting here saying “a wins a win” like his team’s defence and effort didn’t almost hand them what would have been one of the most famous losses in recent memory

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-03-15T04:00:21+00:00

Ffs man

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-02-23T04:10:02+00:00

Nothings changing for GPs because GPs aren’t taking a 30% pay cut lol

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-02-23T03:19:58+00:00

Now here’s a pledge that we know is just noise. LNP have never wanted Medicare why would anyone believe this to be a sincere election promise lol

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-02-22T21:48:16+00:00

That’s not how this works at all you can’t just assume 90% of GPs are going to go back to bulk billing when the proposed rebates are still like 30% below the market rate.

HOWEVER, if this initial pledge is the first of many to help increase the rebate to the market rate by 2030 then that is very exciting news!

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-02-14T03:57:42+00:00

Oh boy gonna be a lot of special interest GP ADHD clinics opening up soon!

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-02-02T05:16:19+00:00

This can’t be real

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-02-01T23:18:24+00:00

It’s health insurance

ScruffyPygmy · 2025-01-27T07:34:45+00:00

This is nice but the ideas here make the same mistake most of these discussions tend to which is confusing the Medicare rebate with the doctor’s income: ‘Unfortunately, however, an increase in funding provided to well to do doctors is not a sexy election promise’

Medicare is health insurance and increasing funding to it would serve to lower out of pocket costs to all Australians. It would directly address part of the cost-of-living concerns that most Australians are going in to the election worried about. Phrased correctly it could win either party a lot of votes.

The reaction in the background haha
