Fees & Charges
MIXED Billing Practice
At West Cessnock Medical Practice, we operate as a Mixed Billing Practice. This means that patients who do not hold a Concession or Pension card or are 16 years and older will be charged a private fee for their appointments. For those eligible for Medicare, a rebate will be processed directly to your account.
From the 5th of August our Practice has implemented an adjustment to our Consultation Fees inresponse to insufficient funding from Medicare & escalating costs of living.
Below is an outline of our standard fees and rebates
