Payment must be made at the time of the consultation via credit/debit card. To receive your Medicare rebate, we are able to process this on the spot for you directly to your debit card or we can provide a receipt for you to claim yourself with Medicare. If, at any time, your circumstances change or you are suffering financial hardship, please don’t hesitate to discuss your fees with your GP.
If Medicare rejects a payment claim, please notify our reception staff to help sort this out.
