Our fee structure is in line with that recommended by the Australian Medical Association. We request that you pay your account at the time of consultation. A $5.00 account fee is charged for accounts not paid on the day. We accept cash, cheques, credit cards and EFTPOS. Should you have any difficulty paying your accounts, please discuss this with your Doctor.
At Nepean Health Care we use an appointment system and patients should telephone ahead or book online to make an appointment. A few times are kept free to allow urgent patients to be seen on the day. Appointments help to keep waiting times to a minimum. However, should some patients require extra or urgent attention there may be some unexpected delays. If you anticipate that you will require extra time, please inform the receptionist, e.g.
- insurance/pre-employment medicals
- minor surgical procedures
- hearing tests
- more than one patient to be seen
- allergy testing
- general health check-ups
- several problems to discuss
- women’s health checks
If you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify us as soon as possible.
