Important Information About Referrals & Medicare Claims:
At Sydney Endocrinology, we want to make the Medicare claiming process as smooth as possible for you. Please take a moment to read our policy regarding referrals and payments:
Referrals
A valid referral from your GP or specialist is required in order to claim a Medicare rebate.
If you forget to bring your referral on the day, that’s okay — simply send it to us afterwards ensuring it is dated before or on the same day as your appointment.
Once we receive the referral, we will process your Medicare claim and the rebate will be paid directly into your nominated bank account.
GP referrals last for 12 months and specialist referrals last for 3 months
Payments
All consultations must be paid in full on the day of the appointment.
We are unable to bulk bill or delay payment if a referral is missing.
This policy applies to all patients, without exception.
Late Cancellation Fee Policy
Our practice reserves significant time for each consultation, and late cancellations or non-attendance often prevent other patients from accessing care. Some clinicians have a long waiting list.
For this reason, appointments cancelled with insufficient notice, or missed without attendance, incur a late cancellation fee of $150.
We understand that unexpected situations can arise, and exceptional circumstances are always considered at the discretion of the practice.
To help avoid fees, we encourage patients to contact us as early as possible on 0291579095 if they are unable to attend.
