Standard Appointment Fees

Please click on this link to see our current patient fees.

Durham Health is a member of Pegasus Health.  If you are an enrolled patient you are entitled to subsidised health care.  We will see casual patients and visitors to our community, however they may not receive a subsidy and the fee charged will reflect this.

 

 

Missed Appointment Fee

We understand that emergencies and work or family obligations may occasionally require you to miss an appointment. If this occurs, please inform Reception as soon as possible so we can offer the slot to other patients in need of medical care.

Due to high demand, a $20.00 fee will be charged for any missed GP appointments or those not canceled with at least one hour’s notice. This fee applies to all age groups.

Repeated no-shows will result in a charge for the full appointment fee.

Higher fees may be charged for missed specialist appointments.

 

Accounts Policy

Our policy is that payment is required on the day of consultation unless prior arrangement is made.

When there is availability we can see non-enrolled and casual patients at our practice.  However payment is expected prior to the consultation with the doctor or nurse as we do not offer accounts to non-enrolled or casual patients.

Any outstanding balances will have a monthly administration fee of $5.00 added until paid in full.

Please feel free to discuss alternative methods of payment with the Practice Manager or Front desk staff.  We welcome regular automatic payments if this assists your budgeting.

  • Any debt not paid after three months will be referred to our collection agency.
  • If debt collection costs are incurred these will be added to the patients account
  • No credit will be offered to casual patients or those of no fixed abode.
