Fees
Will Update on 1st of August 2024
Our fees will recently increase. Please see a snapshot of regularly billed items below for your reference.
SMP Billing Policy
To provide patients with a clear and consistent billing policy to ensure patients are aware of the costs associated with the services they receive. All fees are payable in full at the time of visit by cash, credit card or EFTPOS. We use Medicare Online and TYRO Easyclaim to promptly process your Medicare Rebate. If you have registered your bank details with Medicare, your rebate from Medicare will be applied to those details. NOTE: It is your responsibility to lodge bank details with Medicare. Patients without a Medicare card will be requested to pay the full amount for the consultation on the day of the visit.
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO BILLING 1st August 2024
Our fees have recently increased. Why?
– because GP practices also face increases in costs. Scone Medical Practice needs to be sustainable to continue to provide long term, high quality care for our community.
– because we are aiming to attract more doctors to offer their services here so there is better service to patients - there are costs involved to do this.
Our patients are important to us and we are aiming to provide the best service possible. These changes will come into effect from Thursday 1st August 2024.
