Medicross Rochedale is a MIXED billing clinic, this means that some patients will now pay a gap or incur an out-of-pocket cost for their appointments which is the difference between the practice’s private fee and the Medicare rebate.
All Children over the age of 12 – 16yrs, Health Care Card and Pension card holders will be charged a discounted fee. We will continue to bulk bill children under 12 years of age, Veterans’ Affairs card holders (conditions apply for white card holders) and all careplan, health assessment and mental health care plan appointments.
