Private Billing
As noted above, there are many Bulk billed services that we continue to offer.
Private fees apply to patients 16 and over who do not have a concession or pension card.
The changes to Medicare regarding Bulk billing on the 1st November does not include people who do not qualify for a concession or pension card. Therefore, this group of patients will be required to pay a private bill on the day. Medicare rebates do apply.
Please understand that the decision to charge a fee for consultations is not something we take lightly. We have tried to offer Bulk Billing services where we can.
All Saturday appointments will be charged a private fee. Standard 15min fee $85. There is a discounted fee for a standard 15min fee of $75 for children under 16yrs, pensioners and concession card holders.
Private fees apply for Mental Health Consults, Mental Health Care Plans and review of a Mental Health Plan if you are not under 16yrs, a Pensioner/HCC holder.
We will inform you of additional costs when booking a procedure.
Patients with NO Medicare Card private fees apply.
Our priority is to continue to provide a quality health service. Please refer to a detailed list of fees below.
When the consultation takes either less time or more time than booked, the appropriate consultation fee will be charged. Fees are payable at the time of consultation preferably by credit card, EFTPOS or cash.
Medicare Safety Net can help lower medical costs if you need to see a doctor or get tests regularly. When you spend over a certain amount in a calendar year, Services Australia will give you a higher rebate amount back. To manage your family’s safety net online, you can use your Medicare online account through myGov or visit www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/medicare-safety-nets to find out more.
