Billing
Fees, Medicare and Accounts
In recognition of the increased costs and complexity of providing medical services in a rural area, we do not bulk-bill medical service costs to Medicare Australia.
​
For most services, a gap payment will be charged above the Medicare rebate amount. Fees are payable at the time of your consultation.
Through our direct connection to Medicare via HIC Claims Online, your Medicare claim can be processed on the spot, and a rebate deposited to your nominated bank account within 48 hours.
​
A discounted fee is charged for Pensioners/Health Care Card holders. If you have difficulty paying our fees at any time, please discuss this with your doctor. Your health is our priority.
​
The following is an indication of fees, but billing is dependent upon the services and consumables required and the applicable Medicare item numbers for those services. Payment on the day is required for all appointments. Please note Medicare Rebates change from time to time so the amount below is only an indication.
The following GP fees apply from 1st July 2024
APPOINTMENT LENGTH | PRIVATE FEE | HEALTH CARE CARD FEE | PENSIONER FEE | MEDICARE REBATE |
---|---|---|---|---|
15 Minutes (standard consultation) | $104.90 | $84.85 | $84.85 | $42.85 |
30 Minutes (longer consultation) | $201.85 | $170.55 | $170.55 | $82.90 |
Consultation fees vary depending on duration and complexity. For example, a standard consultation is usually sufficient for 1 medical issue/condition and a longer appointment is usually required for more involved medical care. Additional fees may apply for procedures ​and certain tests (i.e. ECG). If an account is not paid in full at the time of consultation, a $10 administration fee may apply. Allied health and gym fees are available on request.
​
Script Clinics (depending on type of prescription and whether you have been to the clinic recently) are privately billed ($35.00, face to face, Medicare Rebate $19.60) with Health Care Card holders/Pensioners bulk billed.
​
Please note we do not accept payment by American Express. ​
