Fees and Billing

EFFECTIVE AS OF 1ST JULY 2021

RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CLINIC IS A MIXED-BILLING PRACTICE. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HIGH QUALITY OF CARE AND SERVICE WE CANNOT ROUTINELY BULK BILL ALL CONSULTATIONS.

PAYMENT IS REQUESTED ON THE DAY AND EFTPOS IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. WE CAN PROCESS YOUR MEDICARE REBATE AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT AND IF YOU HAVE REGISTERED YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS WITH MEDICARE THE REBATE WILL BE PAID DIRECTLY BACK TO YOUR ACCOUNT WITHIN TWO WORKING DAYS (OFTEN ON THE SAME DAY). PENSIONERS AND HEALTH CARE CARD HOLDERS CAN PAY A GAP FEE AND RETURN THEIR MEDICARE CHEQUE TO THE CLINIC WHEN IT IS RECEIVED.

ALL DOCTORS WORK INDEPENDENTLY AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN BILLING DECISIONS. AT TIMES YOUR FEES MAY BE REDUCED OR YOU MAY BE BULK BILLED.FEES CAN BE DISCUSSED CONFIDENTIALLY WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND ALLOWANCES CAN BE MADE FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BILLING.
