Billing.
Important information
Gasworks Medical Practice is a private billing practice. All fees are billed based on the time and level of complexity of the consultations with your doctors. Our practice is equipped with Medicare Easyclaim which gives you the choice of having your Medicare claiming done on the spot—the Medicare rebate is then deposited into your bank account using an EFTPOS card.
We thank you for your continued support of Gasworks Medical Practice and we look forward to continuing to provide quality health care to you and your family.
If you are unable to make your appointment, we would appreciate you letting us know at least 2 hours before your scheduled time per our cancellation policy. If we were not notified 2 hours prior to your scheduled GP appointment, a $50 cancellation fee will be charged, and must be paid prior to your next appointment.
