PLEASE NOTE: FEE INCREASE FROM 1ST SEPTEMBER 2024
PLEASE NOTE OUR BILLING AND CANCELLATION POLICY
As of 1st November 2023, Station Road Medical Centre will be operating as a MIXED billing clinic, this means that some patients will incur an out-of-pocket cost for their appointments which is the difference between the practice’s private fee and the Medicare rebate.
We will continue to Bulk Bill for the following:
• All patients with a valid Medicare card including Aged and Disability Pensioners.
• DVA gold, white card holders will be bulk billed with the condition eligible to DVA (stated on the card).
• Health Care Card holders.
• Children under 16 years of age.
To be eligible for any service to be bulk billed you must have a valid Medicare Card and Concession Card.
For Private Patients
Full payment will be required on the day. We will transmit your claim directly to Medicare to assist you with a speedy reimbursement of your rebate, which will be directly deposited into your bank account. Eligible patients have the option to claim an instant rebate. For further details of current fees and claiming options, please contact our friendly reception team. We accept Eftpos, Credit Card or Cash.
Private Billing services for all Patients
Pre-employment Medicals, Insurance and Solicitor Reports, Commercial Driver’s License Medicals are privately billed and are not covered by Medicare. You will be advised by your doctor or our reception team about the applicable fee.
Cancellation Policy
Not attending appointments deprives other patients from seeking health care.
Please be advised, if you do not attend 2 or more appointments which are not cancelled a minimum of 2 hours before your appointment time, you will incur a $50 administration fee.
Our aim is not to collect fees but to open up otherwise booked appointments and make these available for patients requiring urgent assistance. This enables us to provide timely health care for new and ongoing patients.
Patients without a valid Medicare Card
If you are not eligible for a Medicare Card or your Medicare has expired, you will be privately billed. .
Please note: There may be a reduced fee for patients without a valid Medicare card, but this is at the treating Doctor’s discretion.
