Fees

Billing

At Elermore Vale Medical Centre we are a private billing practice and payment is required at the time of your consultation. Common fees are listed in the Fee Schedule below. The following updated fee schedule will be applied from 01/07/2024.

Patients under 16 years old will be bulk billed for any consultation which attracts the triple incentive payment from Medicare, but we will charge a concession/ discounted rate for some consultations which do not attract the incentive payment from Medicare (e.g. GP mental health care plan, procedures etc).

For patients aged 16 to 70 years old with Health Care Card or Pension Card, we will charge at a concession/discounted rate for all consultations.

For patients aged over 70 years old with Health Care Card or Pension card, we will bulk bill for all consultations.

For patients aged over 70 years old without Health Care Card or Pension Card, we will charge at the concession/discounted rate for all consultations.

Additionally, we are committed to bulk billing Health Assessments and Care Plans for our patients registered with MyMedicare.

For your convenience, our receptionists can process your Medicare rebate efficiently into your nominated bank account once payment for consultation is made.

Please ensure you have registered your nominated bank account with Medicare. Your current Medicare card will need to present at each visit.
