Murray Medical Centre is a private billing practice. Accounts must be paid at the end of a consultation.
Please note that for Medicare rebates to be received, the patient must be present during the consult. This means that your child or your elderly parent must be present, even if they may not be able to contribute to the consult. This applies to face-to-face consultations as well as telehealth consultations. In order to receive a Medicare rebate for a Telehealth consultation, you must have had a face-to-face consult with a GP at MMC in the last 12 months.
When booking your appointment, we ask you to consider what issues need to be discussed with your doctor. The standard appointment time is 15 minutes, with a long appointment time of 30 minutes. To assist us in minimising waiting times for fellow patients, your doctor may request for you to return for a follow up appointment in order to address all issues raised.
Please book an individual appointment for each family member that needs to be seen. This will help the doctor keep to time and give each individual the time they deserve rather than being rushed.
Our fees have been updated on 1st July 2023. There has been ever-increasing costs for general practices that have affected the cost of providing health services to our community. The increase in our fees is required to ensure our commitment to providing the very best services to you that do not compromise quality and efficiency.
