FEES

Wakefield gardens surgery is not a bulk billing practice. Charging appropriately for the time we spend with our patients allows us to provide high quality care.

Payments at the time of the consultation is required.

Other services such as completing reports and forms, copying or managing health information, repeat scripts and referrals may incur a fee if done outside of a consultation. The amount charged will depend on the time involved and the complexity of the task. The transfer of medical records to other practices will also incur a fee.
