Billing policy changes effective from 23 October 2023
In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, it’s crucial to revisit General Practitioner (GP) fees.
Key Reasons for these changes are:
– Rising healthcare costs
– Ensuring exceptional quality health care
– Encouraging preventative health care
– Reducing administrative burden
– Talent attraction
– Telemedicine investment.
It’s time to recognize the dedication of GPs at Bremer Medical Centres and create a sustainable, accessible, and quality healthcare system for all. Our out-of-pocket fee for consults will range from $25 to $50 only.
We will continue to bulk bill the following groups of patients:
– Under 16 years of age
– 65 years or over with Concession Cards
– DVA Gold Card Holders
– DVA White Card Holders if the consult is related to an approved condition
– USQ Students for appointments with only the Nurse Practitioner
* Doctors are independent contractors and are free to set their own fees. If you are currently experiencing financial difficulty, please speak to your GP regarding this at the time of your consult.
