From 15th January 2024, Banyule Community Health will be introducing mixed billing GP services. This means that some of our patients will need to pay a fee to cover the gap between what Medicare pays us and the cost of running our medical services.
Unfortunately, Medicare rebates have not kept up with the inflation rate, and do not cover the increasing costs of delivering quality health care to you and your family. This is why we, like many other General Practices across Australia, have been forced to make the difficult decision to change the way we bill our patients, or risk closing our doors.
Fees will apply to in-person and telehealth appointments.
