Appointments & Fees

Appointments

Please call (02) 6370 3001 during practice hours for an appointment.  

• We encourage you to ask for your preferred time.

• If you are sick, please call early in the day and let our reception staff know and we will do our best to have you seen on the same day. 

• Standard appointments are 15 minutes, so if you think you will need more that 15 minutes, have a few issues to discuss or have forms that need to be completed please ask for a long appointment.

• Each appointment is for one person. If you have other family members who require medical care, please make a separate appointment for them.

• Please let us know if you or a family member requires an interpreter service, and we will organise one for your appointment.

• Emergencies will always be given priority and our reception staff will attempt to contact you if there is any unforeseen delay.       

Practice fees 

Dunedoo Medical Centre is a private billing practice. All payments are to be made on the day of service by EFTPOS only. We provide Medicare Easy Claiming services so you can get your Medicare rebate back at the same time of payment. Bulk billing is available for pension and concession card holders, children aged under 16. All health assessments and GP chronic disease care plans and care plan reviews are bulk billed.

Our private fees are:

• Level A - $50 (short appointment < 5 minutes; $19 Medicare rebate)

• Level B - $95 (standard appointment 5 - 20 minutes; $43 Medicare rebate)

• Level C - $120 (long appointment 20 - 40 minutes; $82 Medicare rebate)

• Level D - $160 (prolonged appointment > 40 minutes; $122 Medicare rebate)

Missed appointment fee

In the event you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment with the doctor, we would appreciate it if you could please call the practice to let us know ahead of your appointment time. This is so your appointment may be offered to other patients needing to see the doctor.

Unfortunately, if you do not let us know you are not attending your appointment, we will be unable to see you for further appointments until you finalise the cost of a standard appointment at the Medicare rebate of $42.

Please be advised that continued failure to attend your appointments without notifying us will result in the termination of ongoing care at our practice.
