A small fee is now being introduced but we are aiming to keep your overall ‘out of pocket” expense to a minimum.
Our practice has been bulk billing since its inception but due to increased costs associated with delivering the services on weekends this transition is necessary to provide you and your family high quality healthcare.
Warner Lakes Family Practice/ Bridgeman Family Practice has chosen to continue to subsidise your healthcare by setting our fees lower than the current recommended fee schedule set by the Medical Association of Australia (AMA).
We accept EFTPOS, credit cards and cash for your convenience. Please make sure you link your bank details with your medicare card in order to get the rebate back straight in to your account within 24 hours. We will lodge the claims online after your consult to make the transition easier for you.
