Why Choose Us
GENERAL CHECKUPS
Keeping on track with your health starts with you. Establishing good health habits early means you may enjoy a longer, healthier, happier life. And by getting recommended health checks at a relevant time, you can work with your healthcare team to improve your chances of preventing health problems throughout your life.
Having a regular doctor or practice has several advantages. Most importantly, you will build a relationship over time and are more likely to feel comfortable talking openly. Also, your doctor will get to know you and understand your health needs and concerns. By having a regular doctor or practice, your medical history stays in the one place, and is more likely to be kept up to date.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mixed billing and how does it affect me?
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.
What are the fees for consultations and services at Eight Mile Plains Family Doctors?
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.
Can I walk in for an appointment, or do I need to book ahead?
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.
