Fees & Payments:
Clinic 66 is a privately billing practice. Our fees and consultation schedules are available at the reception counter, showing the full price and the Medicare rebate.
Fees are payable at the time of consultation and can be made by EFTPOS or credit card. We’re currently not accepting cash payments.
We accept Afterpay for Procedural Appointments.
Medicare cardholders will be able to claim some of the money back from Medicare. We will submit your claim to Medicare for the rebate, which typically reaches your nominated bank account within 24 hours.
For Non-Medicare card holders, we will issue you with the receipt, which you can then take to your health insurance, which may cover the cost, depending on your insurance policy.
Appointments:
Our appointments can be made online at any time or over the phone between opening hours.
Our consultations are by appointment only. In some instances walk-ins are accepted, however, there might be unavoidable wait as priority is given to patients who have a booked appointment.
No referral is required for most of our services, but there are some specialist doctors and services that will require a referral (e.g. if you need to see a gynaecologist). We can organise this for you with one of our GPs.
Where appropriate, you can now have a telehealth consultation with one of our GPs online via video call. Video calling is as convenient as a phone call, with the added value of face-to-face communication. It will save you time, and bring your care closer to home.
Procedural appointments can be booked over the phone only. If you are having a procedure under sedation, you can expect to be in the clinic for about 2-3 hours. More information regarding procedures under sedation is available on our website www.clinic66.com.au.
Home visits can be provided if required. However, as many consultations require equipment, most patients will need to be examined more thoroughly at the practice. Home visits are privately billed, the fee charged is higher than for in-clinic appointments.
