Billing
(Office Hours)
- We
aim to keep our fees as low as possible, however due to the
rapidly escalating costs of providing such a comprehensive
service we can no longer bulk-bill all patients. Despite this,
our fees remain significantly lower than the AMA recommended
charges.
-
Private patients are asked
to pay in full on the day of service but with a maximum of $60
payable on any one occasion. The "gap" payment is
around $10 - $25 depending on the complexity of the service. This
may be more for complex consultations & procedures.
-
Veterans affairs patients,
pensioners, health care card holders, & children under 16 are
currently bulk-billed for in-hours consultations. -
We accept cash, cheque,
eftpos, bankcard, mastercard, & visa.
