About Fees

 

Boronia Park Medical Centre provides bulk billing services provided you present a valid Medicare card. Non-Medicare cardholders will be charged standard consultation fees. Certain treatments and procedures might incur a gap fee, please discuss with the doctors should you have any concerns. For newborns, parents will have the pay out of pocket for consultations, which then can be claimed back from Medicare when the newborns have received their Medicare Card. Please request a receipt from our friendly receptionists to aid with the claiming process.

 

If you have any questions regarding fees, please get in touch via our practice number – (07) 3809 2333. We'll be happy to help you out.

 

​

Concessions and Health Care Cards

​

If you are a concession card holder - the holder of a pension card, health care card etc. - we encourage you to present this card to reception upon your visit, along with your Medicare / DVA card.

 

​

Travelers/Overseas Student

 

If you are a traveler or an oversears student and do not have a Medicare card - standard consultation fees will apply. You may, however, be eligible for reimbursement by your travel insurance or OSHC company.

​

 

Other Consultations

 

Some consultations are not eligible for bulk billing and will incur charges. These include: commercial driver license medical assessments, insurance medicals, pre-employment checks and work cover. Please call our practice for more information regarding these services.

​

About Appointments

 

Boronia Park Medical Centre allows 10 minutes for a standard consultation. Please notify our reception staff if you require a longer appointment for paperwork or have more than one issue. If you are uncertain as to what length of appointment you require, please ask our friendly receptionist at the time of booking.

 

We kindly advise our patients to arrive five minutes before their appointment time to allow us to run as close to schedule as possible. Occasionally our doctors run late - this may be due to emergencies, or unexpected events faced by patients. 

 

Also we kindly advise our new patients to arrive ten minutes prior to their appointment to allow time for staff to create their chart and complete new patient paperwork.
