Repeat prescriptions and referrals
For your convenience, our practice offers the option to request repeat prescriptions and referrals through HotDoc without needing an appointment. Please note that these services are not eligible for a Medicare rebate.
Payments are processed online via Visa, MasterCard, or Amex, and will be handled directly by HotDoc. A service fee will be applied in addition to the doctor’s processing fee, and charges may vary depending on the doctor.
Is "bulk billing" available?
Unfortunately, over the last decade or so, the Medicare rebate has not kept pace with inflation and rising expenses in general practice. This means we our doctors are no longer able to accept the Medicare rebate as the sole means of reimbursement for our services.
We no longer "bulk bill" pension, concession or health care card holders as a default billing position.
How do payments and rebates work?
At the end of your consultation, your doctor will determine the amount to bill you, based on the consultation time and complexity of issues presented. You pay this full amount at the reception desk before you leave.
Most common consultations attract a Medicare rebate. We can lodge your Medicare claim electronically as soon as you pay. Most patients receive their Medicare rebates into their bank accounts within a couple of business days of the appointment.
If Medicare does not have your bank details then you may need to call them on: 132 011 or visit their website for more information.
Referrals to external services
Our Doctors may refer patients to services outside the practice, such as pathology, imaging, specialist and/or allied health. These services usually involve out-of-pocket expenses and we encourage patients to enquire about charges and payment requirements for these services prior to, or when, they make their appointment(s) with the other service provider(s).
