FEE SCHEDULE

Groveway Medical facilitates independent general practitioners and ancillary health providers to the community. Practicing doctors are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and are specialist qualified doctors by either the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) or Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).

Fees are determined by your treating doctor and will vary depending on the consultation type(s) and duration. Certain visits may be bulk billed for eligible patients; such as pensioner and Health Care Card holders; at the discretion of your treating doctor.

Full payment of fees is required on the day, with any applicable medicare rebates processed immediately. Depending on your setup with medicare, this will either arrive as a cheque, or in most cases, sent directly to your bank account electronically. We invite you to discuss any questions or concerns with our friendly staff.

Your fee may be covered by external parties such as- Work Cover, The Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA), Travel Insurance, or your private health insurance. In certain cases, you may be able to claim a proportion of your fees from the appropriate entity. We will aid you in the provision of required documentation/receipts.

GAP PAYMENT PROCESS

All consultation the Gap payment will be processed as follows:

• You will be asked to pay for the full consultation fee at the conclusion of your appointment
• Through the Medicare Easy claim system, we will process Medicare rebate claims at the same time, allowing the money to be credited to your account directly; and remove the task of you from having to claim the rebate at Medicare in person
• You will be rebated the Medicare portion of your costs normally within 24-48 hours, with you being out of pocket only for the gap payment

You will be made aware of external fees prior to your consultation and all outstanding accounts are to be settled at the time of consultation. Medicare rebates will vary depending on what services are provided and length of visitation. These rebates are set by Medicare. Please refer to the schedule below for approximate out of pocket costs.
