SPECIFIC MEDICARE ITEMS
-
All consultations are paid by the patient at the time of consult.
However we do have some MBS items which we do bulk-bill at the discretion of the doctor. These are
- Returning for Results only appointments
- Recalls by us to you
- All Childhood immunisations and Flu vaccinations
- Health assessments- 45-49 and Over 75 years
- Cervical screening tests ( formerly known as Pap smear)
- Some DOCTOR SPECIFIED MEDICARE ITEMS may be bulk billed as specified by your doctor at the time of consultation.
We do offer an alternate payment system to aged pensioners ( pay one visit, bulk-billed the next). Please let us know if you wish to be part of this scheme.
- We appreciate that some people may find it difficult to pay their medical bills. A doctor might also offer to bulk bill a service at their discretion in exceptional circumstances. We do offer an alternate payment cycle for some patients.
- If you are having financial difficulties please discuss this with your doctor at the time of appointment. Your privacy will always be honoured.
If you were previously bulk-billed at our practice please do not assume that you will continued to be bulk-billed; it is only at the Doctors discretion and under certain conditions.
