Abstract

SIR: It seems the hounds of bureaucracy are closing in, for an entitled pensioner, when filing a claim for a "PayDoctor" payment, has now to supply: Medibank number; pension entitlement number; registration number with a health insurance fund or Medibank; plus the remaining details "required" by the claim form. In spite of those happy "pensioners" who pay cash and collect their total refund in person, and those who wish to "assign benefits" (if you wish to accept "assignment of benefits"). surely there can be evolved some less taxing and onerous device to facilitate "PayDoctor" arrangements for services rendered by medical practitioners to the aged, the infirm, the supporting mother and the deserted wife, who wish to utilize this method of payment. Is bulk-billing to be thus enforced?
