GHFP Billing Terms & Conditions
The Health Care Practitioners who conduct their practices at Glebe Hill Family Practice and GHFP Nurture operate on a private billings basis.
This means there will be out of pocket expenses for the care you receive. Fees and Medicare rebates vary depending on the length and complexity of the consultation and are ultimately determined by your Doctor or Allied Health Practitioner at the end of the consultation. Payment is required in full on the day of consultation and will be processed immediately after your appointment.
Our current fee schedule is available on our website www.ghfp.com.au or at reception.
Payment is required in full on the day of consultation and will be processed immediately after your appointment. We require an eligible credit or debit card at the time of booking an appointment for pre-authorisation of payment. This card will be used to process your payment and any applicable processing fees and surcharge.Your Medicare rebate, if applicable, will be submitted online to Medicare on your behalf and refunded into your nominated bank account by Medicare. If you would prefer to pay by cash please advise our Reception team at the completion of your consultation.
Please allow adequate notice when cancelling appointments to allow other patients the opportunity to make an appointment. If you need to cancel a GP appointment, please do so at least 2 hours prior to your scheduled GP appointment time, and 48 hours prior to your Allied Health appointment time.
Failure to cancel with adequate time, or non-attendance of an appointment will incur a fee equivalent to the full fee of the appointment. Failure to attend / late cancellation fees for Allied Health Professionals vary per practitioner. This will be processed using the payment details supplied when booking the appointment and will be processed by our administration team.
Please be aware that any outstanding accounts will attract an additional administration fee of $11 inc. GST and any associated costs for debt recovery by an external third party will be the responsibility of the patient or nominated head of family. Associated fees will be in addition to the initial account and the account will remain outstanding until all fees are paid in full.
Patients will not be able to book any future appointments whilst an account remains outstanding. In the event of referral to an external debt collection agency any future appointments will be at the discretion of the Practitioner and Practice Management team once funds are recovered in full.
