WE ARE MOVING TOWARDS MIX BILLING AS OF 8th March 2021
Due to the current COVID situation, changes to Medicare and the high costs of running a clinic, we are now moving to a mixed billing policy.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
- Pensioners and HCC holders will continue to be bulk billed.
- Patients under the age of 16 and over the age of 65 will also continue to be bulk billed.
- A consultation fee will now be applicable for all other appointments – Medicare rebates are applicable for Medicare card holders.
