General Practitioners seeing their patients at St Leonards Family Medical Centre operate on a mixed-billing fee model.
Why are there fees to see a Doctor?
General Practitioners believe in delivering the best quality patient care, with no compromise on service and time spent to ensure that all your needs are taken care of. You will be seen as close to your appointment time as is possible and will always be treated with the utmost care and respect while at our practice. In order for your General Practitioner to give you this level of care, the Medicare rebate alone is unfortunately no longer enough to cover our costs and operate a modern medical facility, hence why you will be charged a fair out-of-pocket fee.
What are the fees to see a Doctor?
Being a mixed-billing practice, fees are determined by the General Practitioner. Please see the individual General Practitioners profile pages for their basic fee structures.
Will any appointments be Bulk Billed?
