Guide for use: | Direct billed (bulk billed) claims are when the provider of the service accepts the Medicare benefit as full payment for the service. This occurs when the patient assigns their right to the benefit to the provider. There is no out-of-pocket cost for these services (unless a bulk-billing co-payment is applied). |
