*** FACE-TO-FACE AND TELEHEALTH CONSULTS:
The doctors at North Ryde Medical Centre have a mixed-billing fee policy. Please contact Reception for full details.
BULK-BILLING is available Monday to Friday, before 5pm, for:
- Children<16yrs, and
- Commonwealth Pensioner/Health care care holders
GAP FEES apply for all other consultations:
- Standard (non-concession) patients: $45 gap fee for all consultations
- After-hours consultations (5pm-6pm Mon-Fri, or Saturday) for Children/Concession card holders ($25 gap fee)
Nurse appointments (eg. Flu vax) are BULK-BILLED (all times). Please call Reception for a Nurse appointment.
Please note a Non-Attendance Fee of $40.00 applies if you do not attend the appointment (or answer the phone for a phone consult).
PAYMENT METHOD
Please note that any applicable fees are payable at the time of consultation.
Full consultation fees must be paid first (Credit/Debit/Cash), with the Medicare rebate processed immediately afterwards.
- eg. Standard consultation (<20mins) for non-concession patient: $84.75 full fee, minus $39.75 Medicare rebate = $45.00 out-of-pocket gap
Medicare rebates can be processed on-the-spot (Medicare Easyclaim) to a Debit card (Savings/Cheque account), or directly to your bank account registered with Medicare
MEDICARE SAFETY NET
Did you know you can register as a family for the Extended Medicare Safety Net? This allows you to reach the safety net threshold sooner.
Once you have reached the Extended Medicare Safety Net, you will receive back 80% of out-of-pocket gap fees for the rest of the calendar year, in addition to the usual Medicare rebate.
- eg. Standard consultation for non-concession patient: $84.75 full fee, minus $75.75 Medicare rebate = $9.00 out-of-pocket gap
