Fees

This is a mixed-billing service.

 

Children up to 16 are bulk-billed as well as people on a pension and health care card holders.

 

Other consultations, like review of blood and imaging results, may also be bulk-billed at the Practitioner’s discretion.

 

All other patients attending Health & Wellbeing North Ward are billed at the following rates for many of which a Medicare rebate applies:

• Psychotherapy, Dietetics, Exercise Physiology and other Allied Health consultations attract a Medicare rebate only when part of a careplan. Ask our staff for details.

• Employment and other medicals are paid in full. They cannot be charged to Medicare.

Skin surgery is normally bulkbilled although some procedures may attract a setting up fee of $20.00.

• MoleMate analysis of skin lesions with printing of report is $10.00 per mole, with a maximum of $60.00 for a full-body scan.

Scripts (when you do not see a Doctor) are charged at $5.00.

Payment is required at the time of consultation. For your convenience, we accept cash, cheques, credit cards (VISA and MasterCard) and EFTPOS.

what's in the fees

Health & Wellbeing North Ward has elected to be a multi-disciplinary practice where care of patients is carried out by a team of practitioners, not only by Doctors.

Our 7 Medical Doctors work together with Nurses and Health Workers, Allied Health Practitioners and Specialists, and will liaise with a number of different agencies and professionals to ensure you receive the highest possible level of care.

Care at this level takes time and money and we do not want to compromise on either.

 

Medicare pays Doctors and other practitioners at a much lower rate than what is accepted as fair by the Australian Medical Association.

 

To be able to bulkbill everybody we would have to do without Nurses, valuable equipment, and shorten patient consultations to a minimum, all of which, we believe, would greatly lower the standards we want to achieve and maintain.

 

We hope you understand this and help us maintain a high quality medical centre!
