Dear patients,

Please be advised that commencing 1 July 2022, gpmaroubra will no longer be able to bulk bill any of our patients.

TO OUR BULK BILLED PATIENTS: A small gap fee of approximately $10 will apply to all consultations, with the remainder of the fee being reimbursed back into your bank account from Medicare (normally within 4 hours of your consultation).

Short consultation = $50 (rebate of $39.10 – gap fee of $10.90)
Medium consultation = $86 (rebate of $75.10 – gap fee of $10.90)
Long consultation = $122 (rebate of $111.50 – gap fee of $10.50)
 
TO OUR PARENTS WITH CHILDREN: Our standard consult fees will now apply to all child consultations. Please speak to reception if you would like fee information and rebate amounts from Medicare. 

CHILDHOOD IMMUNISATIONS: Will now incur a consult fee. Our standard fees will apply for these visits.
All 6-week-old immunisations will require a longer appointment and incur a fee of $158 (with a Medicare rebate of $75.10). 
All other immunisation appointments;

• If you are booking in for an immunisation only for your child then a standard fee of $96 will apply (with a Medicare rebate of $39.10)
• If you would like to speak to the doctor about any other issues/concerns outside of the immunisation, a longer appointment will be required and a fee of $158 will be applied (with a Medicare rebate of $75.10)

​
Our doctors have graciously been able to offer a free comprehensive service to our pension card holders since our practice opened over 10 years ago however as the Medicare subsidy for this has remained low this amount no longer covers the costs to keep the practice up and running. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Our doctors will be happy to discuss this further with you during your consultation if you require further information.

Thank you
