We are a private billing practice, which means that our services are privately billed to our patients. This means that you will have a gap payment (out of pocket expenses).
The gap payment is the difference between the rebate you receive from Medicare and the consultation fee charged by the Doctor.
Certain services may be bulk billed at the sole discretion of the doctor. Reception staff are not able to offer bulk billing unless instructed to do so by the doctor.
We do not bulk bill patients with a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.
All Workcover/MVA consultations must be paid on the day if no accepted claim number has been provided.
Payment is required on the day of the consultation and can be made by cash, EFTPOS or Credit Card (excluding Diners and AMEX cards). Workers compensation patients must provide a claim number each time they present for a consultation.
