• Non concessional Medicare eligible patients will incur a gap payment of $40 for consultations. This is only a gap payment which is payable on the day of the consultation.  A Medicare claim is then lodged on your behalf and the balance payable to the doctor is sent by Medicare to you by cheque. Please bring this cheque when you receive it to reception or mail it in the Reply Paid envelope.
