FEES AND CHARGES

FEES

Doctors providing services from Hills Women’s Health and Medical Practice charge a gap-fee for face-to-face consultations as well as for Telehealth and video Telehealth consultations. Some services may be eligible to be bulk billed.

All consultations are time-based and attract a fee (Medicare rebate + time-based gap fee).

The gap fees are structured to reflect the time you spend with your doctor. They also depend on the complexity of your issues. Additionally, any procedures performed during your consultation affect the fees. The Medicare rebate amount follows the Medicare Benefits Scheme. The government sets this scheme based on the type of service and the time provided for the service.
