Your Practitioner's Consultation Fees

The doctors we support primarily provide MIXED BILLING appointments to their patients. Your doctor may bulk bill patients who are on a Pension Card, Health Care Card, Veterans Affairs Card or children under 16 years in their own discretion. For consultations, patients may be charged by their doctor either through Medicare or Veterans Affairs or Privately or Insurance or Employer. If you are not registered with Medicare a fee equivalent to the Schedule Fee may be charged by your doctor.

Workers Compensation may be billed to your employer by your doctor at the current AMA Rates. Copies of these fees are available on request from the receptionist.
