IMPORTANT CHANGES TO BILLING POLICY21/03/2022

Dear Valued Patients,

It is with regret that we wish to inform you that current Medicare rebates no longer cover the increasing costs associated with providing you with high quality medical care and as a result we have had to review our billing policy. we are introducing MIXED BILLING for consultations for all doctors at the practice, 7 days a week.

This will be effective from (Tuesday) 19th April 2022.

Only eligible patients will be bulk billed for Medicare Rebateable Services. These patients include;

  • Children under 16 years,
  • Vaccinations - COVID, Influenza and kids vaccination
  • Health Care Card and Pension card holders and DVA card holders
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.
  • Appointments made for follow up of investigation medical results

Fees will also apply to telehealth appointments as well.

Patients who do not fall into one of these categories will be charged a private fee

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
