Payment at the Time of Consultation: We are a private-billing clinic and all accounts are paid for on the day. To streamline the administrative process, it is kindly requested all fees be settled at the time of your consultation.
Medicare Integration: Morningside General Practice Clinic is seamlessly integrated with Medicare Online, facilitating a smoother experience for patients.
Online Medicare Claiming: For your convenience, if you possess a current Medicare card, you have the option to instantly claim your rebate with a debit card. Tyro does not accept credit cards for your rebate.
Payment Methods: Visa, Mastercard, EFTPOS, and cash are accepted as forms of payment.
Telehealth Consults: Online payments for all phone and video consultations at our clinics are available, through HotDoc. Patients will be required to submit payment details at the time of booking these appointments or risk having the appointment cancelled. Telehealth appointments attract the same fees as ‘face-to-face’ consults. To be eligible for a Medicare rebate the patient must have had a ‘face-to-face’ consult at the clinic within the last twelve months.
New Patients: When booking your appointment online if you have not seen a GP for yourself at either Morningside or Belmont clinics, please select the New patient appointment type in HotDoc so the Doctor has sufficient time to meet you and understand your healthcare needs. We will require a online secure deposit of $75.00 at the time of booking to secure your appointment. This amount will be forfeited should you not attend your appointment.
Failure to Attend: Should you book an appointment and fail to attend, you may incur a failed to attend fee. To avoid a failed to attend fee, please cancel with a minimum two hours notice (where possible). We do understand certain circumstances may not allow to you to cancel in this timeframe, please discuss this with Reception.
Skin Checks/Skin Procedures: If you are having a skin procedure, you will receive a Medicare rebate. Multiple charges apply if you are having multiple procedures or if you have multiple sites which are being excised. Depending on the size and location of the procedure, there will be a facility fee.
Veterans Affairs: The clinic accepts the Gold Card for both surgical procedures and home visits from Veterans Affairs patients.
Saturday & Sunday Surcharge: There is an additional surcharge for consultations on Saturdays & Sundays.
Additional Fees: If you require procedures, dressings or specific vaccinations, please consult Reception or the doctor to obtain information regarding any associated fees. Additional fees may also apply for clinic nurses to upload vaccinations to the Australian Immunisation Register for vaccinations administered overseas.
Dressing Packs: Please note, if you are coming for a dressing or procedure, you will be charged a wound management or treatment room facility fee. This is to cover the cost for the clinic to purchase the dressings/consumables, including local anaesthetic where required.
Wound management dressings – $15.00 – $25.00
Minor procedures facility fee – $40.00
Complex procedures facility fee – $60.00
