Claiming Medicare Rebate

We are able to arrange for payment of your Medicare rebate through online transfer into your preferred bank account. Patients wishing to claim through Medicare themselves are able to do so.

  • Online Payment: To register for online claiming patients simply need to provide a BSB and account number to either Medicare or our reception staff. Information on how to register through Medicare is available at their website.

Private Health Insurance

We provide patients with tax invoices for all paid services to enable them to lodge claims with their health funds as appropriate. We do not liaise directly with any private health funds for the purpose of claiming benefits.

Billing of Children

Dr Cara Jefferies and Dr John Ruberry bulk bill childhood immunisations from Monday to Friday. Children without Centrelink concession cards are not routinely bulk billed for other matters.
