Fees
The doctors who consult from Box Hill Medical Centre will bill both private and bulk bill. Please note as a service to the community, some doctors will bulk bill pensioners, health care card holders and children under 16.
Please be aware that some consultations and procedures are not covered by Medicare and will not attract a Medicare rebate. These include: insurance forms, employment medicals and Work Cover Certificates. Billings for these items will be time-based and extended appointments are usually required.
Procedures performed in our well-equipped theatre may incur an extra charge to cover the cost of medical supplies and cleaning. Concession patients will be charged a reduced fee, which will leave a gap.
