Our clinic will begin Mixed Billing as of August 19th.
All GP’s at SMMC will BULK BILL all children under 16 years, as well as ALL Pension and Health Care Card holders.
Our Doctors have transitioned to Mixed Billing, which means that for patients over the age of 16, or without a valid Pension or Health Care Card, your consultation will attract a private fee payable on the day of consultation, for which you will receive a rebate from Medicare. This means there is an out of pocket cost to you.
You will be notified upon booking and again when checking in of any associated costs to expect following your consultation.
Fees can be paid via Cash, Credit Card or EFTPOS. Our Reception staff will submit claims to Medicare on your behalf. Medicare typically pays the rebate within 24 hours.
