Funding options

Three funding pathways. One Regiment booking.

The booking flow can route patients to Medicare eligibility review, private payment or an NDIS disability-support pathway.

Medicare

$0 patient payment if legitimately bulk billed

Eligibility must be checked for the patient, clinician and MBS item.
Regiment can support a partner medical centre / eligible clinician claiming model.
If Medicare criteria are not met, the booking can move to private payment.
A bulk-billed MBS service cannot simply have an extra patient platform fee added.

Private

Indicative standard GP consultation: $89

Stripe can collect payment before the consultation.
The patient sees the fee before any card is charged.
Private is the fallback where Medicare or NDIS funding does not apply.
Other service prices remain configurable before launch.

NDIS

For eligible disability-related supports

Separate from ordinary GP diagnosis and mainstream medical treatment.
Self-managed and plan-managed pathways can use invoicing arrangements.
NDIA-managed services may require relevant provider registration.
Support type, plan management and claiming requirements are checked before service delivery.

How Regiment would handle Medicare

The practical launch model is for Regiment to provide the digital after-hours booking, intake and workflow layer while an eligible medical centre / clinician retains the clinical and Medicare claiming relationship. Medicare eligibility is assessed before any claim is submitted.

Patient books

Funding preference, appointment details and symptom profile are captured in Regiment.

Eligibility reviewed

The treating practice / clinician determines whether the service can be legitimately bulk billed.

Correct rail used

Medicare claim, private payment or NDIS invoice workflow is selected and tracked in the staff dashboard.

Partner-practice commercial preview

Illustrative medical-centre arrangement

A plausible starting commercial model is a $2,000 monthly platform / after-hours management retainer plus $7 per completed consultation. The partner medical centre / clinician keeps responsibility for legitimate Medicare claiming and clinical billing. These figures are illustrative for commercial modelling, not a published patient fee.
