What is a bulk billed eye test?
At Spectacle Hub, we offer bulk billing on our eye tests, meaning that Medicare will pay for the total cost of your eye test. If you are a current Medicare cardholder, a comprehensive eye test can be bulk billed.
All our optometrists at Spectacle Hub are experienced and qualified to perform a thorough eye examination. The test aims to detect any diseases or conditions that could affect your eyesight, as early as possible. If you’re opting for one of our bulk billed eye tests, you don’t need to pay anything upfront. Still, you might need to pay for additional aids such as glasses, contact lenses or other treatments if your optometrist recommends these.
