We are a private billing clinic and private fees are charged to all patients except Department of Veteran Affairs gold card holders.
Cancellations
If you fail to attend for a booked appointment a fee may be charged. Similary at least 2 hours notice of cancellation is required or a fee may be charged. This is not rebateable by Medicare.
Payment is required at the time of consultation or a $10 accounting fee is added to your account. For your convenience we accept Cash, Cheque, Bankcard, Mastercard and Visa. If you are in a position of financial hardship, please discuss this with your doctor.
Our fees for some common services are outlined below:
| Consultation type | Clinic fee | Medicare rebate | Patient's out of pocket expense |

Services without a doctor's visit
When services are rendered without a consultation, the following fees apply:
- repeat prescriptions $10
- referral letters $10
Note: Repeat prescriptions should be justified by a recent doctor's visit. Authority prescriptions (which require a phone call to Canberra) and initial referral letters would normally require a consultation. 24 hours notice is required for scripts & referrals & they are done at the individual doctor's discretion.
Workcover/TAC claims
Payment will be required at the time of treatment until a claim has been confirmed and a claim number provided. It is the patient's responsibility to apply for reimbursement from the appropriate authority, prior to a claim being established.
