What are Mixed Billing services and their advantages?
In mixed billing, a percentage of a GP’s patients will pay a private top up on the Medicare allowance, this comes from the patient’s pocket. They will do this because it gives them more choice as to whom they see, when they visit, for how long, and very importantly, because they can afford it!
In Case of Emergencies –
The Male/Female GPs at Eight Mile Plains Family Doctors would give priority to the patients brought in under Emergency/Accidents, while the appointments for the day will be attended by replacement GPs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mixed billing means that while some patients may be eligible for bulk billing (where Medicare covers the full cost of the consultation), others may need to pay an out-of-pocket fee.
How this affects you depends on your Medicare eligibility, the type of consultation you require, and the doctor you see. If bulk billing does not apply to your visit, you will need to pay the consultation fee upfront, with Medicare reimbursing a portion of the cost. To understand any potential fees for your appointment, please contact our clinic.
Our fees vary based on the type of consultation, treatment session required, the doctor you see, and your eligibility for bulk billing. Some patients may be fully covered by Medicare, while others may have an out-of-pocket expense. For a detailed breakdown of our fees, kindly contact our team.
While we strive to accommodate walk-in patients, we recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure you receive timely care. Walk-in availability may depend on doctor availability and clinic capacity on the day. To secure your preferred time, please schedule an appointment online or call our clinic.
