Appointment Fees:

General Practitioner

All patients with a valid card will have their consultations as mixed billed.

Patients with valid Australian traveller insurance incur an out-of-pocket fee between the private fees (below) and what their insurance will cover. Assure Health charges the Medicare rebate fee for General Practitioner consultations to people with a valid traveller and student medical insurance. Not all insurance companies are able to be directly billed from Assure Health. Depending on your insurance provider you need to pay out of pocket and claim your rebate back from your insurance company. If you wish to know how much your insurance will reimburse you, please contact your insurance provider prior to your appointment.

If you wish to know how much your insurance provider will reimburse you, please contact them prior to your appointment at Assure Health.
