Yes. However, these are kept to a minimum due to the nature of the practice, time constraints and safety reasons. Mainly for regular patients whose condition prevents them attending the practice. Visits will only be made within the Kilcoy-Benarkin community.

Telephone requests for prescriptions will be accepted at this practice under the discretion of the doctors due to legal and safety of your health.
Telephone consults with a GP are still available to patients who have visited the practice in the last 6 months. Scripts can still be faxed or emailed to your preferred pharmacy but originals must be posted later.

Kilcoy Medical Centre is a mixed billing medical practice. To provide adequate services and facilities for your needs it is necessary to charge realistic fees for a private patients. Please ask our reception members for any information regarding these rebate options, as well as private fees.

Doctor chooses at present to bulk bill Pensioners, Health Care Card holders, recipients of Sickness Benefits and children under 16 years.

If your GP hasn’t bulk billed you, full payment of the consultation fee needs to be paid on that day. Fees will be payable at the time of consultation by cash, credit card or EFTPOS.

The gap between your Medicare rebate and the consultation charge is the out-of-pocket amount. The Medicare rebate goes into your bank account right away.

The AMA fee structure forms the basis of our billing policy, and our doctors charge the fees that reflect the time taken and degree of complexity in each consultation.
Our practice is equipped with HICAPS allowing the surgery to directly lodge your receipt for Medicare refunds, saving time for patients.

In today’s environment, it’s no longer possible to bulk bill every patient. All consultations are time-based and attract a fee. We have given a great deal of consideration to who is eligible to be bulk billed.
