Billing Policy
Medical HQ is a private billing practice—bulk billing is not routinely offered. Our policy requires full payment on the day of service. Fees are based on the duration and complexity of the consultation, and a gap fee applies to all patients.
Appointment Types
Longer appointments are required for more complex concerns or when you need to discuss multiple issues. This includes all medicals, pap smears, mental health appointments, new patient visits, and minor procedures. Booking the appropriate appointment length ensures your doctor has enough time to address your needs thoroughly.
Non-Attendance Policy
Effective 1 March 2025: Failure to attend a scheduled appointment or to cancel with at least 2 hours’ notice may result in a non-attendance fee of $55. This fee must be paid before booking any future appointments. Please note this fee is the responsibility of the patient and cannot be claimed through Medicare.
Payment Methods
Full payment can be made by cash, cheque, EFTPOS, MasterCard, Visa, or via our Tyro Payments system. Medicare rebates can be processed on the spot and refunded to your account at the time of payment. Alternatively, you can register your bank details with Medicare to receive your rebate directly into your account within 48 hours.
Additional Fees
Certain procedures—such as lesion removals—may attract additional fees. Details are available from reception. Transfer of medical records will incur a fee starting from $50.00 plus postage. WorkCover consultations and third-party consultations (e.g. motor vehicle accidents, pre-employment medicals, insurance medicals, travel medicals, and some driving medicals) will also be privately billed.
