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.

The fee charged for a consultation will depend on its complexity and length. Health care card holders and pensioner card holders are charged a reduced fee.

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.
