​St Agnes Surgery is a mixed billing practice. Consultation fees are payable in full at the time of consultation by cash, EFTPOS, credit card. Medicare rebates can be deposited into your savings or cheque account at the same time.

​
Most consultations are charged according to complexity and time, and fall into the "B" or "C" category. The patient contribution is the difference between our fee and the Medicare rebate. Please note that:
  • Our fees are higher than the government determined "schedule fee"
  • ​Out of Hours fees apply after 1pm on Saturday, all day Sundays and Public Holidays
  • ​Fees charged for professional services are available on request​
  • ​At times, patients will incur out of pocket expenses during the course of their care e.g. specialist gaps, medication & other treatment costs. 
Please ask your doctor if you have any concerns about additional costs which may be associated with your care.
