Private Billing Practice

We are a private billing practice.​

We use a fixed gap fee system for our appointments. This means that if you have a valid Medicare card, your out-of-pocket cost (or gap fee) is set based on the specific type of appointment you book.

 

While the total upfront payment for your consultation might vary due to factors like the appointment's length or services provided, your gap fee for that appointment type remains consistent.

 

Booking an appointment

​

At the time of booking your appointment, you will receive an SMS from HotDoc to confirm your appointment with a payment method.

​

Your card won't be charged until after your appointment or if there is an outstanding account and card details are never visible to HotDoc or our practice.

 

By proceeding with the booking, you consent that your credit card will be charged:

• for telehealth consultations;

• if you do not provide the required notice for cancelling your appointment; or

• for the payment of any outstanding accounts.

​

Payment

 

By proceeding with your appointment, you agree and consent to payment fees and any outstanding accounts, including bulk billing medicare if eligible.

 

Where fees apply, payment for the consultation is made upon completion of your appointment.

 

We accept Eftpos, credit card (Mastercard and Visa) and online payment from HotDoc. 

​

Please note that our practice passes on the surcharge fee (1.75% +30c) for all online fees from HotDoc.

​

Kindly contact reception for alternate payment options

 

Medicare Rebate

 

Patients eligible for a Medicare rebate will receive their rebate instantly when paying in person. The rebate can only be returned onto a physical DEBIT (savings or cheque) card.

 

Alternatively, the Medicare rebate will be paid to the bank account linked to your Medicare within 1-2 business days.
