BILLING FEES: We are a mixed billing clinic, meaning all consultations (see reception for exclusions) are time-based and attract a fee except for those who are eligible for bulk billing. Fees are payable at the time of consultation by cash, credit card or EFTPOS. The Australian Medical Association fee structure forms the basis of our billing policy. The doctors charge fees that reflect the time taken and degree of complexity in each consultation. Our practice is equipped with TYRO and Medicare On-Line. These facilities allow the surgery to directly lodge your receipt for Medicare refunds, saving time for patients. Please ask the reception members for any information regarding these rebate options, as well as private fees.
Patients are required to pay for the consultation in full on the day of your consultation, and for convenience, your Medicare rebate is processed immediately back into your bank account. To provide the utmost convenience to all of our patients, we use Medicare Online.
The practice has set standard fees, but some services are always bulk billed, such as care plans and Government funded health assessments.
Who is Eligible for Bulk Billing?
Bulk Billing is available to the following patient groups for general consultation types from Monday-Friday:
Government funded vaccines, Health Assessments, Diabetes Reviews & Care Plans will remain Bulk-Billed for All patients.
