Our Fee Policy

GP CONSULTS (FACE-TO-FACE)

for Medicare-Rebatable Consultations: 

The doctors at Midway Family Medical Centre have a mixed-billing fee policy.

All the doctors have indicated the following schedule as a guide (however please note that all billing is at each independent doctor’s discretion and may vary depending on the type and duration of the consultation);

Concessional Fees

Concession Fees are available for

• Children under 16yrs,
• Pensioners,
• Health Care Card  and DVA Card Holders

BULK-BILLING

Is available Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, and Saturday before 1pm for:

• Children under 16yrs, and
• Commonwealth Pensioner/Health Care Card holders & DVA
• (Please note Commonwealth Seniors Health Card is not eligible for routine bulk-billing).

OUT-OF-POCKET (GAP) FEES

Apply for all other consultations:

• Standard (non-concession minimum consult) patients: $37.15 gap fee for all consultations
• After-hour consultations Saturday 1pm to 4pm (Please note; Bulk-Billing does not apply)

Nurse appointments (e.g. Flu vax) are BULK-BILLED. Please call Reception for a Nurse appointment.

PAYMENT METHOD

Please note that any applicable fees are payable to the doctor/allied health practitioner at the time of consultation.

Full consultation fee is payable first (Credit/Debit/Cash), then any applicable Medicare rebate can be processed immediately afterwards.

• E.g. Standard consultation (<20mins) for non-concession patient: $80.00 full fee, minus $42.85 Medicare rebate = $37.15 out-of-pocket gap

Medicare rebates can be processed on-the-spot (Medicare Easyclaim) to a physical Debit card (Savings/Cheque account).

If you do not possess a physical Debit Card, a receipt of payment will be provided for you to claim Medicare rebate yourself online, or by visiting a Medicare office in person.

NON-MEDICARE GP CONSULTS:

• Patients without a valid Medicare Card (Private-Billing Fee apply)

PLEASE NOTE: Additional fees may apply for minor procedures (e.g. wound suturing, skin excisions etc.) Extra charge may apply, approximately $50 for any surgical procedure and $160 for Iron Infusion
