Workcover and TAC:
Private fees are generally charged for all consults relating to Workcover and TAC. Please take your receipt as evidence of payment for reimbursement to your employer or your Workcover insurer or TAC. The rebates for Workcover and TAC do not cover the cost of your consultation, therefore accounts are generally a matter between you as the patient and your employer, or between you and Workcover/TAC insurer.
Cancelling Appointments/ Non Attendance Fee
If you no longer require your appointment, please call our reception team at least two hours prior to cancel. Another patient can make use of the time. Failure to do so may incur a non attendance fee of 50% of your consult

At Balnarring Medical Centre we offer minor procedures. These consultations are privately billed for all patients. There will be an out of pocket cost associated with this service for which you will receive a Medicare rebate. Your doctor will speak to you regarding the fee when the procedure is being organised for you.
