Billing

Change to mixed billing

Dear Valued Patients,

Here at Forest Lake Family Practice we aim to provide the highest level of patient medical care.

We are ever grateful for you being with us for so long and pride ourselves in being able to provide you quality healthcare services over the years.

Please be advised that due to the rise of running costs, our practice is obligated to make the switch from bulk billing to mixed billing as of 31st October 2022.

We will continue to bulk bill all patients under 16 years of age, DVA, and concession card holders.

Medicare cards and concession cards must be presented before each consultation to be bulk billed.

Payment is required when checking in at the front reception and can be made by cash, bank transfer, EFTPOS or Credit Card (excluding AMEX and Diners cards).

Patients who do not have a valid Medicare card will be charged a fee determined by the Doctor.

We always try to keep our fees affordable. Any concern related to the payment can be discussed with our receptionist at the booking prior to the consultation.
