Operating a Private Billing Practice

Fees and Billing

Camden Central Family Practice is a private billing clinic. The independent medical practitioners consulting from our practice determine their own fees.

Payment is required at the time of consultation. For your convenience, Medicare rebates can be processed at the practice via Easyclaim, where eligible.

Consultation fees may vary depending on the type, duration, and complexity of the service provided.

Reduced fees or bulk billing may be offered at the discretion of the individual doctor and are not guaranteed. Patients are encouraged to discuss any financial concerns with their GP or reception staff prior to their appointment.

Please refer to our current fee schedule or contact reception for further information.

Appointment Cancellations

We kindly request that patients provide at least 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. This allows us to offer the appointment to another patient in need of care.

A cancellation fee may apply where adequate notice is not provided:

Standard consultation: $85
Long consultation: $145

These fees reflect the time reserved for your appointment and the impact of missed appointments on access to care for other patients.

Please note that cancellation fees are not eligible for a Medicare rebate and must be paid by the patient.

If you are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact the practice as soon as possible to discuss your situation.
