Fees: Kurralta Park Surgery is a mixed-billing practice. While we understand the government has recently expanded bulk billing incentives to all Medicare patients, these incentives don’t cover the full cost of running the practice. As a result, it is our policy that a gap payment applies to every consult, unless the doctor specifically decides otherwise. Gap fees are set at a minimum low of $25 and may increase to $50 depending on the complexity of patients’ condition or if multiple health issues were discussed.  If you are unable to pay at the time of consultation, a higher fee may be charged. Please note that specific investigations and procedures performed during a consultation may incur extra charges, so please ask your doctor for clarifications.

Bulk billing may be available: For Medicare Card Holders of any age at the doctors’ discretion.

Complex / Multiple health issues will require a longer appointment. Please call reception to arrange an appointment.

Procedures such as skin lesion removal, Implanon insertion/ removal, Cryotherapy, Spirometry & Dressings will attract a facility fee. Dressings will be charged every time a dressing is used, to be determined on the day by the nurse.

Methods of Payment: Cash, Visa, MasterCard & EFTPOS are available. American Express not accepted. Receipts are forwarded to Medicare electronically on your behalf. EFTPOS facilities enable direct-credit of Medicare rebates at time of consultation. Provided patient has registered bank account with Medicare or via Easyclaim to a physical debit card.

Non-Medicare Card Holders: If you do not have Medicare card, payment must be made in full on the same day. Receipts will then be issued for claiming with Private Health Insurance, when applicable.
