Billing

current from: 21 Nov 2023

WE ARE NOT A BULK BILLING PRACTICE - MOST FEES ARE PAYABLE AT THE TIME OF CONSULTATION

Fees are applicable for all services with the exception of:

  • Children 15 years and under who will be bulk billed.
  • Pensioners and Concession Card Holders 65 and over who will be bulk billed.
  • Some Immunisations are bulk billed.

Patients between 16 - 65 with a concession card will be charged $65 for a standard consult and can expect at least $41.40 Medicare rebate.

Private patients will be charged $89.00 for a standard consult and can expect at least $41.40 Medicare rebate.

Medicare rebates can be claimed at the time of payment with a valid cheque/savings account. Rebates cannot be processed immediately on a credit card.

There is no bulk billing on Saturday. A standard appointment is $99.00.

A standard appointment for a child is $79.00.

Dr Edgar Keecha now has dedicated appointments for the supply of repeat scripts.

These appointments may be bulk-billed.

Please check with reception, as other doctors in the practice may offer this service in the future.

Telehealth Bulk Billing

There have been recent changes to the Government's handling of Medicare Benefits for bulk-billed Telehealth appointments.

When you have a telehealth appointment you will be sent a message from us and AutoMed at the end of the consult asking if you approve the Dr charging Medicare for your rebate.

Without this approval, the doctor will need to charge a private fee.

Please answer YES to your text message which will let us know you have agreed to be Bulk Billed.

This is very frustrating, as it has created a lot of unnecessary work for both us and our patients, but we have no say in the matter.

Please check your message after the consult to ensure your rebate comes through in a timely manner.
