Gild is a healthcare payment platform that makes eligible Medicare-rebatable care easier to pay for.
Gild enables eligible patients to pay their applicable out-of-pocket gap, while facilitating the associated payment and Medicare claiming process for participating practices.
Simply put: patients pay the gap. Practices get paid their fee.
-
Gild gives your practice another option for patients who find the upfront cost of privately billed care difficult.
Rather than asking patients to fund the full consultation fee upfront and wait to receive their Medicare benefit, eligible patients can pay their applicable gap through Gild.
More manageable for patients. More sustainable for practices.

Bulk billing and private billing are different billing arrangements.
When a service is bulk billed, the provider accepts the Medicare benefit as full payment for that service.
Gild is for eligible privately billed services where an out-of-pocket gap applies.
-
Because the payment experience matters.
With traditional private billing, patients need to fund the full consultation fee upfront and wait to receive their Medicare benefit.
Gild gives your practice another option: eligible patients can pay their applicable gap fee through Gild, reducing the upfront financial barrier without requiring your practice to simply absorb the difference.
You keep your billing model. Gild changes the payment experience.
Medicare & compliance
-
Gild is built to operate within applicable Medicare and healthcare payment requirements.
We take compliance seriously and build our workflows around the relevant Medicare, MBS, privacy and payment requirements.
Your practice remains responsible for meeting its own Medicare and billing obligations, including informed financial consent and appropriate record-keeping.
We recommend practices continue to follow current Services Australia and Department of Health guidance relevant to their billing arrangements.

No.
Gild does not determine or adjust the Medicare benefit available for a service.
The Medicare benefit is determined by Medicare and depends on the applicable service, item, provider and patient circumstances.

Your patients
-
Gild makes eligible healthcare easier to afford upfront.
Rather than requiring a patient to find the full consultation fee before receiving their Medicare benefit, eligible patients can pay their applicable gap through Gild.
For practices, this creates another way to make care more financially accessible without simply absorbing the difference themselves.
-
No.
Patients always have a choice.
Your practice should provide patients with the applicable fee before they proceed with care.
Gild provides another payment option - it doesn't remove patient choice.
-

Conversations about money can be uncomfortable for both clinicians and patients.

Not at all.
Gild is payment infrastructure.
Clinical decisions remain entirely between the patient and their healthcare professional.
-
No.
