Fees

As a result of the chronic underfunding of General Practice for well over 10 years, many GPs around Australia are privately billing some or all consultations. The Medicare rebates are inadequate to provide high quality healthcare.

 

Tuggerah Medical Centre is a mixed billing medical practice, with each doctor independently setting their own schedule of fees. 

The full consultation fee is payable at the time of your appointment. After your consultation we will submit your Medicare claim on your behalf. Please ensure Medicare have your correct bank account details to ensure you receive your rebate as soon as possible.

We recognise that a lot of patients have suffered financially over the last two COVID-19 years. Please speak to our Practice Manager Michelle, in complete confidence, if you are in that situation.
