Your doctors use the latest German HEINE Cube technology for the skin checks. Pictures of moles are analysed and stored for future comparison.

If needed, skin procedures can be performed in the same building. Bookings are taken at reception ph. 4973 3000. A $50 out-of-pocket cost applies to a skin check.

Billing Arrangements

For other patients, each doctor has got individual billing arrangements. You can find these on the HotDoc booking page per doctor or enquire with reception.

Some doctors will always bulkbill each consultation, while others have got mixed-billing arrangements. This means an out-of-pocket cost between $42 and $53 could apply.

For procedures, dressings, and ear syringes, there is an out-of-pocket fee (between $15-55).

Billing Procedure
As per the Medicare legislation the full consultation fee has to be paid before the rebate can come back to you. Our Eftpos terminals make this process as simple as possible. By swiping your card once the full fee will be charged. By swiping your card again the Medicare rebate will be refunded to you. Please be aware the Medicare refund cannot be paid into a credit card account so you need a savings or cheque account to receive the rebate immediately.

New patients

As a new patient to the surgery we will ask you to fill in a new patients form. Please bring it in on your first visit together with your Medicare Card.
