Private Billing Policy
As you will have learnt recently from the media, regrettably Medicare Rebates have only increased by a few cents in the last 10 years. This falls far short of ever-increasing practice running costs.
Unfortunately, it is for this reason that this practice must adhere to our policy of privately billing patients who are not on a Pensioner Concession Card or who are not covered under Veterans Affairs.
Patients with the above-mentioned cards or entitlements will continue to be bulk-billed.
We hope you will understand the reason for this policy, so we may continue to provide you with caring and dedicated treatment with appropriate length consultations.
Thank you,
The Regent Medical Group.
