Dear Valued Patients,
Grant Street Medical Centre is a mixed billing practice from 01st of January 2024.
Payment is required on the day of your consultation and can be made via EFTPOS, credit card, or cash. Medicare rebates are available online and will be deposited into your registered bank account within 24-48 hours. Alternatively, you can receive your rebate instantly through the Tyro system using EFTPOS (Note: we are not able to do Medicare rebates to credit cards). If your bank account is not registered with Medicare, please register online at www.medicareaustralia.com.au
If you do not receive your Medicare rebate within 48 hours, please contact Medicare at 132 011.
We will continue to bulk bill the following groups:
- Pension cardholders
- Health care cardholders
- DVA cardholders
- Children under 16 years of age
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
Please ensure you present a valid Medicare and concession card at your appointment, as we cannot bulk bill without a valid card.
General consultations are available weekdays from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
