At Morphett Vale Family Practice, we are proud to serve our local community and have always worked hard to keep healthcare as affordable and accessible as possible. Like many clinics, we are a private billing practice, which means that most consultations will involve a gap payment, the difference between the Medicare rebate and the consultation fee charged by your doctor.
Payment is required on the day of your appointment. Please understand that our reception team is unable to change billing arrangements unless directed by the doctor.
The information below is a simplified guide to our fee schedule. Actual charges may vary depending on the day and service provided, so we encourage you to speak with our friendly reception team to confirm any costs before your appointment.
Please note that procedures such as skin excisions, Mirena insertions, Implanon insertions/removals, iron infusions, intravenous medications and wound care will attract an additional out-of-pocket fee to cover the cost of consumables. Our team is happy to provide an accurate estimate upon request.
Despite our best efforts to absorb rising costs over the years, recent changes, including substantial increases in operating expenses and tax, have meant that GPs have had to revise their billing policies. These changes have been made thoughtfully to ensure we can continue providing high-quality care to our community for years to come.
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.
