Montrose Medical Practice is a private billing practice. All fees are billed based on the time and level of complexity of the consultations with your doctors. Our practice is equipped with Medicare Easyclaim which gives you the choice of having your Medicare claiming done on the spot with Medicare rebate deposited into your bank account using an EFTPOS card.

Discounted rate will apply to all children under the age of 16, full time students, pension card and concession card holders Mondays to Fridays. Full fees will apply to all appointments on the weekends.

To ensure that patients in urgent need can see a doctor on the day, we kindly request that you inform us at least 3 hours before your scheduled time. Cancellations within 3 hours for GP appointments will incur a fee: $50 for brief/standard and $70 for long appointments on weekdays, and $80 for brief/standard and $110 for long appointments on weekends. No-shows will be charged the full appointment fee.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of your allied health or specialist appointments, or on the same day as your physiotherapy/podiatry appointment, will also incur the full appointment fee, as practitioners have reserved this time specifically for you. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Q: How can I get my rebate?
A: We are happy to assist you in providing your Medicare rebate on the spot after your appointment via Medicare Easyclaim. After paying the full fee, you have the option of using a Debit card to receive the rebate immediately, or we can send the rebate to the bank account held by Medicare.

Q: I don’t have Medicare. Can I still see a GP or allied health professional?
A: Yes. We welcome all patients to Montrose Medical Practice. If you do not have a Medicare card, you will be charged our private fees. We can provide you with a tax invoice so that you have the option of claiming through any insurance you might have after your consultation.

Q: Are there private health rebates available on site?
A: We are unable to offer private health rebates for GP consultations. However, we can provide private health rebates through our HICAPS machine to eligible patients who are accessing our allied health services. You will need to confirm whether you are eligible for a rebate for these services with your private health insurer.

Q: My child doesn’t have Medicare yet. What do I do?
A: Unfortunately, we are unable to claim Medicare benefits on site without a Medicare card so there will be a small fee to pay after your child visits the doctor. We will provide you with the tax invoice for this visit and, once your child has a Medicare card, you can use this to claim your rebate.
