It gets paid by the SA government, it then ALSO FALSELY bills Medicare (federal govt not SA Health) as an item number that is they opened up their own PRIVATE CLINIC after hours especially to treat this one patient (fraud?) then ALSO bills the patient. Not only that, but in the day time AMBULANCES with accidents. injuries and heart attacks and strokes that would anywhere else go to the CLOSEST PUBLIC HOSPITAL are (by special arrangement) sent instead to a private PROFIT MAKING clinic, then ALSO billed to both Medicare (federal) and also the patient. Not double dipping but TRIPLE dipping. This has been their "business model' for decades. In addition, the DIVISION OF GPs which was supposed to be representative of THE WHOLE DISTRICT is run by Bridge Clinic. In addition COMMUNITY HEALTH which is also supposed to be PUBLIC HEATH is pretty much run and controlled by...Bridge Clinic. You can't get services there without a referral from BRIDGE CLINIC, and they get funds for how many clients they have ON THE BOOKS. Some of those on the books didnt even know they were on the books and have never used their services. RORTS RORTS AND MORE RORTS. Cosy arrangements made by a few, to benefit those same few....and to the detriment of the many. This is TAX PAYER MONEY to the tune of MULTI-MILLIONS being funneled into private pockets and SELF interest not PUBLIC interest. It needs to end.
