Schedule of Fees
Ashford Avenue Family Practice is a mixed billing practice. Both reception staff and the clinical team will inform you if an out of pocket charge will be incurred.
You can pay by debit card or credit card on completion of the service. Due to the current pandemic we do not accept cash. If you pay by debit card, you can claim your Medicare rebate at the time of payment. Alternatively, if you pay by credit card, a receipt will be issued and you will be able to claim the Medicare rebate via the Medicare app or in person, at a Medicare branch.
