Fees
We are a mixed-billing practice. Our fee policy ensures that the out of pocket expense is similar regardless of the consultation time.
| Appointment Type | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Consultation (10 minutes) | $90.00 | $41.40 | $48.60 |
| Long Consultation (20 minutes) | $150.00 | $80.10 | $69.90 |
| Prolonged Consultation (>30minutes) | $200.00 | $118.00 | $82.00 |
A surcharge will apply for all credit and debit card payments to cover additional costs.
We only bulk bill the following*:
- Children 15 years and under with a valid Medicare card (except interstate and international visitors)
- Pension Card Holders 65 years or over (except interstate and international visitors)
- DVA Gold Card Holders
- Patients registered for CTG (Closing the Gap)
We have a discount fee on consultations for:
- Pension Card holders under 65 years
- All Health Care card holders
Please ask reception for a full list of fees. Medicare rebates apply to those who are eligible.
Some procedures might incur a treatment room fee charge.
Any bulk billing eligibility provided by Broadbeach Medical Centre may not extend to additional tests such as radiology, pathology, etc. To find out the costs of any referral from your GP, you should liaise directly with the referring partner.
OSHC Patients
OSHC patients will be required to present their OSHC card at the time of their consultation for billing. The medical centre will process the billing through your OSHC provider, and you will be required to pay the gap fee. If you do not have your insurance card with you, you will be required to pay the full consultation fee, then you will be provided with a receipt and will need to personally claim your rebate from your health fund.
Telehealth Consultations
Please note that telehealth consultations are charged the same rate as face-to-face consultations. A Medicare rebate is applicable only if you have been to the clinic in the last 12 months, and this rebate can be processed at the time of payment.
Late Cancellations/Did Not Attend Policy
Due to a high demand of appointments here at Broadbeach Medical Centre & Gold Coast Women's Health, we have a cancellation/did not attend policy. We are consistently heavily booked and missed appointments may deprive another patient of an appointment.
If you are unable to attend your appointment for any reason, we kindly ask that you contact the practice a minimum of 24 hours before your appointment time.
In some circumstances, late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee of $50.00.
