How much does Lumi Clinic cost?

It is included at no extra cost with your annual Heart Bridge Health licence. If you want Lumi Clinic on its own without the marketplace, it is $200 per month on a six-month minimum term. There is a short free trial either way, so you can put real questions to it before deciding.

What can Lumi Clinic actually answer?

The compliance questions that hold up a placement. Whether a particular doctor is eligible to work at your clinic, what your DPA status means under the 19AB moratorium, which fellowship pathway a candidate is on and what your practice needs to support it, your Modified Monash classification and the incentives attached to it, and how billing rules apply to the mix of doctors you have.

What is the Revenue Calculator?

A tool for modelling what a doctor is likely to bill at your clinic and what different billing splits mean for both sides. It is there so you can build an offer that is genuinely competitive without guessing — and so you can see quickly whether a candidate stacks up commercially before you spend weeks on them.

Does it replace proper compliance advice?

No. It is a fast, well-informed first check that tells you what applies and what to verify. Registration, Medicare eligibility and visa conditions should always be confirmed with AHPRA, Services Australia or the Department of Home Affairs before a doctor starts.

Who in the practice is it for?

Practice managers and operations leads use it most — it answers the questions that would otherwise mean a phone call and a wait. Clinic owners tend to use the Revenue Calculator when shaping an offer. No training is needed; you ask in plain English.

Start with these five steps. 1: Verify their AHPRA registration type and any conditions on the public register. 2: Check your clinic’s DPA status at the Health Workforce Locator — if you’re non-DPA, confirm the doctor holds an exemption. 3: Confirm their visa type and work rights — if you need to sponsor a 482 visa, you’ll need to be an approved Standard Business Sponsor. 4: Identify their training pathway (EAP, PEP, FSP, AGPT) and whether your clinic meets the requirements. 5: Begin credentialing and apply for their provider number — allow 2–8 weeks. The most common delay is documentation, so ask for documents upfront before confirming a start date.

Section 19AB of the Health Insurance Act imposes a 10-year moratorium on most IMG doctors. During this period, the doctor can only bill Medicare at DPA (Distribution Priority Area) locations. If your clinic is DPA, most 19AB-restricted doctors can work and bill there — check your exact address at the Health Workforce Locator. If you’re not DPA, the doctor needs an approved exemption (locum, after-hours, or spousal). Key points clinics often get wrong: DPA and MM are completely separate classifications. Fellowship does not end the moratorium — only time does. And the moratorium is address-specific, so check each clinic location individually.

The Bulk Billing Incentive (BBI) is an additional Medicare payment on top of the standard rebate for bulk-billed consultations with concession card holders and children under 16. It’s automatic — no separate application needed. The amount varies by MM classification: roughly $6 in MM1 (metro), $7.50 in MM2, $9–$11 in MM3–MM5, and $12+ in MM6–MM7. In a bulk billing practice seeing 30 eligible patients per day, BBI adds $180–$360 per doctor per day — that’s $45,000–$90,000 annually per doctor. In higher MM areas, BBI can make bulk billing financially comparable to mixed billing. Include it in your revenue modelling.
