To continue to provide the best care for our patients, we have had to make the tough decision to move to mixed billing from January 2023.
We will continue to bulk bill appointments for children under the age of 16, DVA card holders and those with a current Centrelink concession card.
For all other patients there will be an out of pocket cost of around $30 (see signage in the waiting room for more information)
Fees will also apply for all procedures such as iron infusion, IUD / Mirena insertion and removal, Implanon insertion and removal, ear syringing, wound care and dressings, biopsy or excisions and so on.
In conjunction with the Rotary Club of Freswater Bay and Moort Care, At Granada Medical Practice we are collecting basic non-perishable FOODS (such as baked beans, tinned soup, long life milk (tins must be ring pull & foods suitable for diabetics) & TOILETRIES (such as toothpaste, soap, shower gel, shampoo).
We will use the donations to provide hampers for needy families at Christmas.
