FEES FOR WYEE MEDICAL CENTRE
THIS IS A PRIVATE BILLING PRACTICE, THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT RESOURCES CAN BE REINVESTED INTO THE ONGOING CARE OF OUR PATIENTS.
Reduced Fee Billing is available to Pension, Healthcare Card holder.
Wyee Medical Centre no longer offers bulk billing for appointment except for children UNDER 16 YEARS OF AGE. This also applies to telehealth phone consultations. This is the same cost as Face to Face appointments. The Medicare Rebate is the same.
There are some private services that do not attract a Medicare rebate so that they cannot be bulk billed. Patients will be advised prior to their appointment if that applies to the reason for your visit.
If you are experiencing financial hardship that impacts your ability to access care, please discuss this with the Doctor when you are in the consultation.
TO OFFER THE DISCOUNT RATE FOR YOUR ELIGIBLE CONSULTATION WE REQUIRE A CURRENT MEDICARE AND IF APPLICABLE, A CURRENT PENSION OR HEALTHCARE CARD.
