WE ARE A MIXED BILLING MEDICAL PRACTICE
WHY MIXED BILLING?
- So we can continue to deliver high quality care for you
- So we are able to maintain bulk billing for our vulnerable members of the community – children & the elderly
- So we have on-the-day appointments available for you
- Because Medicare rebates have been falling behind inflation for over 10 years
- To ensure we maintain the best quality GP’s and medical services for you
WEEKDAY CONSULTATIONS
All patients aged between 16 and 69 years (inclusive) will be charged privately for all weekday GP telehealth or face to face consultations.
A proportionate amount of this fee can be claimed back from Medicare after the consultation.
On weekdays, patients aged 15 and under or 70 years and older, or those who hold a valid pension card will be BULK BILLED for most GP consultations. Certain consultations may incur an out-of-pocket fee, which will be discussed during your consultation by your GP.
Please note, from 1st November 2024, general practitioner consulting fees will be as below:
| Description (Normal hours) | MBS Item | Fee | MBS Rebate | Out-of-pocket |
| Short consultation | 23 | $95 | $42.85 | $52.15 |
| Long/Complex Consultation | 36 | $160 | $82.90 | $77.10 |
| Extended Consultation | 44 | $200 | $122.15 | $77.85 |
The fees listed above are used as a guide, however as general practitioners are independent consulting medical professionals, in some circumstances they may charge additional fees on top of a standard billing consultation for more complex professional specialist services issues. Your GP will advise you at the time of your consultation if an extra fee will be applied.
Note – MBS rebate amount as at 01/07/24, adjusted 3.5% CPI (subject to change). Fees for after hours (after 1pm Saturdays) will incur higher billing rates.
