Fees
CHANGE TO CONSULTATION FEES AS OF 1ST JULY 2024
To our valued Patients,
Starting from 1st JULY 2024, we will be introducing new Mixed-Billing for your consultations. As such, a small gap fee will likely be payable, but we are aiming to keep your overall ‘out of pocket’ expense to a minimum.
Our Practice has been primarily Bulk-Billing since their inception. However, due to increased costs associated with delivering services, this transition is necessary to continue providing you and your family quality healthcare.
Warner Lakes 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 for the rebate to be deposited into your account within 48 hours. We will lodge the claims online after your consult for your convenience.
To help us reduce your waiting time for appointments, we kindly ask that you discuss only one item with your GP during a standard 15 minute appointment. If you need to address more than one issue, please book a longer appointment with your GP.
Please note: Bulk-billing services will continue for patients under 15 and all valid Concession Card holders*(Except Weekend and Public Holidays). Please show your current concession card at each appointment.
Kind regards,
Management and Staff
