Our Fees
Gap Fees
At North Rocks Medical Centre, a gap fee applies, which is the difference between our consultation fee and the Medicare rebate. The total fee and gap amount may vary depending on factors such as the type of consultation and the patient’s age.
A $25 gap fee applies to patients aged 15 to 67 years.
Concession Card Holders – No Gap Fee
Patients who present a valid Pensioner Concession Card at a pre‑booked weekday appointment will be bulk billed for a standard GP consultation, so there is no gap fee to pay on the day.
(Procedure fees and weekend/after‑hours gap charges may still apply—please speak with reception if you’re unsure.)
Procedure Gap Fees
Excisions, biopsies, wound management, and other procedures conducted by the doctor will incur a gap fee, applicable to all patients regardless of pension or concession status.
Patients will be notified about this fee before their procedure takes place.
Other Fees
Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN)
We encourage all patients to consider registering as a family for the Extended Medicare Safety Net, which is designed to help you reach the safety net threshold more quickly. For more information and to register, please visit Medicare Safety Nets.
After you meet the EMSN threshold, you’ll be eligible to receive 80% back on out-of-pocket gap fees for the rest of the calendar year, in addition to your regular Medicare rebate. This reimbursement is in conjunction with the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) benefit, though the amount reimbursed is subject to caps for certain services.
This scheme aims to lessen the financial impact of healthcare services, making medical care more affordable for our patients.
Examples of EMSN Benefits
Example 1: For a service charged at $70.00, the patient’s out-of-pocket expense before EMSN benefits is $29.90 (the fee the provider charges minus the MBS benefit received). The EMSN benefit for this service is $23.95 (80% of the out-of-pocket cost), reducing the total expense to $5.95.
Example 2: For a service charged at $90.00, the patient’s initial out-of-pocket cost is $49.90 (the fee charged by the provider minus the MBS benefit received). After applying the EMSN benefit of $39.95 (80% of the out-of-pocket cost) and adjusting for the benefit cap, the patient receives a cap benefit of $32.95, resulting in a final cost to the patient of $16.95.
