NON-MEDICARE CARDHOLDERS:
We no longer do direct billing /bulk billing. You will need to pay consultation fees in full, after which you will be given a receipt to claim the rebate from your insurance provider.
APPOINTMENT CANCELLATION POLICY
We can understand that a patient may need to cancel an appointment due to unforeseen circumstances. However, we respectfully ask that the cancellation of a scheduled appointment be done at least 3 hours in advance.
Our doctors want to be available for your needs and the needs of all our patients. When a patient does not attend a scheduled appointment, another patient loses an opportunity to be seen.
We require a minimum of 3 hours’ notice of cancellation of a scheduled appointment. Otherwise, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $50. The cancellation fee is not Medicare rebateable
Cancellation may be done online or by calling the practice during open hours.
PS: Please speak to Dr Kate if you have a particular financial situation and are unable to pay out-of-pocket fees.
