Fees
Hughes Medical Clinic determines its own fee structure based on the AMA rates.
Patients are encouraged to pay for all consults on the day. Our TYRO Eftpos system allows patients to receive Medicare rebates back into their account within 11 seconds when they pay in full with their debit card. Alternatively patients can use their EFT Bank Details and receive their Medicare rebate the next day into their bank account. Please note the only condition for the next day rebate is that patients need to have registered their account with Medicare for the rebates to be put back into their account.
The doctor is responsible at all times to determine the fee they feel is appropriate for the individual patient. Patients are encouraged to discuss with their doctor any difficulty they may have in meeting the consultation fee.
