**Important changes to our billing policy**
From 1st August 2023, consultations with GPs at Box Hill Superclinic will attract a $20 out of pocket fee for standard consults and a $30 out of pocket fee for long consults. The full consultation fee (medicare rebate + out of pocket fee) will be charged and the medicare rebate will be processed upon payment.
This is due to unavoidable costs of operations and we have continued to offer bulk billing services for as long as possible. Our team will continually review medicare rebates or tenders that would allow us to provide easy access to healthcare services.
For more information, please see our billings policy.
Mask Policy
Box Hill Superclinic has a Face Mask Policy for the health and safety of our community which includes vulnerable patients and personnel. Anyone entering the clinic is required to wear a mask – including doctors, nurses, staff and patients.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
