Practice Fees

Private Fee Changes

Fee changes will occur from 2nd December 2024 to maintain an environment where we can provide you with the quality of service you deserve. We aim to keep your overall out-of-pocket expense to a minimum, while maintaining the highest possible standard of care.

We operate as Private billing practice.  There will be a reduced fee for children and patients with a valid concession Card. All other consultations will be privately charged, and with a valid Medicare card we can claim your rebate for you electronically without hassle.

WEEKDAY APPOINTMENTS:

We also take walk-in patients, however please note that these will be privately charged consistently. We also cannot guarantee a short wait time for these consultations.

WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS:

Please note that consultations on Weekends or Public Holidays will attract a higher fee to the usual schedule as these are considered after-hours consultations.

After your Medicare Rebate, the gap fee will be $80 for all consultations on weekends.

A complete fee list can be provided on request.

*Medicare rebates are an estimate, please be aware this may vary.

NON ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Please note a Non-Attendance Fee of $40 – $50 is payable if a patient does not attend their doctors appointment or if the appointment is cancelled with less than two hours notice.

If a patient fails to give 48hours notice or does not attend an allied health appointment, a Non-Attendance Fee from 50% of the consult fee will need to be paid.

VACCINES & PROCEDURAL FEES:

For all vaccination and procedural costs please ask one of our friendly receptionists. Your doctor will explain any additional costs to you  and obtain your consent prior to receiving treatment.

  • Any consultations requiring additional services may be charged a procedural equipment fee of between $10 – $100.
  • Travel vaccines will incur a private fee also for the purchase of the vaccine as they are not covered by Medicare.

MEDICALS

Pre-employment medical assessments and other medical assessments are also privately billed. The cost will depend on the length and complexity of the medical assessment. Reception are able to give a price guide but cost will be determined by the doctor at time of consult.

WOMEN’S HEALTH CHECK:

Private Billing applies to all Women’s Health Checks (Pap Smears). There will be an out of pocket gap fee.

For contraceptive procedures involving hormone implants, there will be an out of pocket fee of $80-$100.

WHY DO WE CHARGE A FEE FOR MEDICAL SERVICES?

At Glebe Medical Centre the quality care that you receive is a product of the dedication and expertise of our staff and a modern, well-equipped facility.

Current and previous governments have failed to regularly increase the Medicare rebates. This means Medicare rebates have never kept pace with the cost of living and have never covered the true cost of delivering quality medical care.

This charge ensures Glebe Medical Centre can continue to provide you and your family with high quality healthcare whilst also covering the ever increasing costs of running a business in Sydney especially while under a Medicare freeze environment.

Glebe Medical Centre 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).

MEDICARE EZYCLAIM

Glebe Medical Centre provides Medicare Ezyclaim for all rebates. Funds are directly deposited back onto your debit card instantly. Please enquire at reception for more information.
