Appointment Fees

Walker Street Doctors is a Private Billing Practice.

Our Standard Consultation length is 20 minutes.

We understand that patients find our healthcare rebate system very confusing. There are literally hundreds of Medicare Item numbers covering all of the services that General Practitioners provide. We do try to keep your out of pocket costs down for you as much as possible. 

Please Note:

• Cancellations within 2hrs of your appointment may attract a $50 fee. 
• For a procedures involving any disposable equipment there may be an extra cost.
• Additionally, there may be extra costs for items such as mental health care plans, procedures and investigations and thus multiple item numbers are billed. Our doctors bill fairly on these occasions with out of pocket expenses of around $45.

Our receptionists are happy to forward your paid account to Medicare online. Your rebate will be deposited by Medicare into your nominated bank account within 24 hours.

Information on the current private fees charged is displayed at reception.

Compensable patients are required to settle their consultation fee at the time of their appointment. An invoice will be provided by reception for making a claim with your insurer. Medical Reports and consultations concerning established Worker’s Compensation claims will be charged in accordance with SIRA.
