Procedural Fees
For example:
- Skin lesion biopsies or removals and suturing
- Implanon insertion/removal
- Cryotherapy
This is to help cover the cost of various items used during the procedure such as disposable surgical equipment, dressings, sutures, local anaesthetic and cryotherapy. The Doctor or the reception staff will be able to inform you if your visit will attract a procedure fee.
Please note: When your Doctor direct bills your consultation to Medicare they do not receive the full consultation cost. They receive the Medicare REBATE which does not cover the costs of running a quality practice.
Clients Eligible for Bulk Billing:
- Children 15 years and under
- Aged Pension Card Holders
Please note: If you fail to attend a scheduled appointment without letting us know, you may be charged a $35 cancellation fee.
