WHY WE SWITCHED TO PRIVATE BILLING
Due to Medicare rebate freezes, escalating costs and inflation, maintaining a free clinic is increasingly untenable. Therefore, we have switched to a privately billed clinic.
However, there will be no gap fee for the following services...
-
Shared Antenatal Care
-
Child Vaccines or scheduled health checks
-
DVA
-
Children under 5 years of age
-
GP management plans
-
Age relevant health assessments
-
Families with more than one sick child seen on the same day (subsequent children will be bulk billed)
WALK-INS
At CMP, we have implemented a no walk-ins policy to enhance the quality and efficiency of healthcare services for all our patients. By operating on an appointment-based system, we ensure that each patient receives the focused attention and care they deserve. This policy allows us to manage our schedule effectively, reducing wait times and enabling our healthcare providers to adequately prepare for each patient's visit. While walk-in patients are not accommodated, we remain committed to addressing medical emergencies promptly and encourage individuals to seek immediate care in critical situations. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy, which ultimately contributes to a better healthcare experience for everyone.
*However please note it if it is an emergency or urgent matter, please contact our staff directly and discuss with them the possibility of an urgent appointment.*
IRON INFUSION
Iron Infusions attract a $157.85 gap for the service. Please consult with Dr Tony Girgis for further information if you are not a regular patient of Cronulla Medical Practice prior to consenting.
TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS
We currently do not offer telehealth services. While we understand the convenience and accessibility that telehealth can provide, we believe in providing the highest standard of in-person care to our patients. Our dedicated healthcare professionals are committed to delivering personalized and thorough examinations, diagnostics, and treatments that may not be fully achievable through virtual appointments. We value the doctor-patient relationship and the benefits of face-to-face interactions in understanding your medical needs comprehensively. We continuously evaluate our services and may explore telehealth options in the future, but for now, we prioritize your health through our in-person consultations. Your well-being remains our utmost priority!
PROCEDURES
Procedures attract a non-rebatable fee, which covers the resources used and follow up. Please discuss with your doctor prior to consenting.
