HOW BULKBILLING WORKS AT OUR PRACTICE 

We’re committed to making healthcare accessible, which is why most doctor appointments at our practice are bulk billed. 

In Order to be Bulk Billed, you simply have to 

• Have a Valid Medicare Card
• A Medicare rebate must be applicable to the service we provide 

To maximize your access to subsidized medications and other referred services, please provide us with a copy of your current Pensioner or Health Care Card (if you have got one). 

Some services are not covered and will have a private fee. This includes: 

• Services for patients who are not eligible for Medicare
• Non-Medicare services such as commercial drivers certificates, employment medicals or insurance reports
• Patients with insurance claim consultations unless there is a guarantee of payment from the insurer, or alternate arrangements to work with. 
• Special arrangements, which include paying a gap-fee only, apply to patients with Allianz, Bupa or NIB Insurance.

We accept EFTPOS, Visa, MasterCard and HICAPS when payment is required. This can be processed via our Payments System in HOTDOCS, or at reception. A small surcharge for EFTPOS transactions applies.

Fees

For Private billing patients, as stated above, common fees include:

• Standard Consultation: $95.00
• Long Consultation: $160.00
• After Hours Consultation: $135.00
• After Hours Long Consultation: $235.00 

We are committed to providing the highest level of care and maximising community access to healthcare. If you would like to clarify if your required service is bulk billed, please ask reception. 

Missed Appointment and Cancellation Policy

Failure to give notice or attend for an appointment will now incur a ‘did not attend’ fee with no Medicare rebate payable. 

Please ensure you give notice to avoid a cancellation fee of $40. 

This fee is payable prior to booking any further appointments.
