Listed medical centre and diagnostic provider Primary Health Care has established a private billing division that will be run separately from its large bulk billing medical centre business following a restructure of the company's executive management.

Henry Bateman, son of the late founder Ed Bateman and formerly general manager of the medical centres division, has left the company for personal reasons, allowing CEO Peter Gregg to separate it into a bulk billing division led by GP and current chief clinical officer John Houston, and a private billing division led by former Qantas executive Maxine Jaquet.
