Darlington Medical Centre operates as a mixed billing practice, ensuring quality healthcare while considering individual circumstances.
Patients are required to pay an out-of-pocket cost for their appointments, which must be settled in full at the time of the appointment. Subsequently, we will organize the Medicare rebate on your behalf. If you are a Private Patient, you will receive an invoice copy for seeking reimbursement from your insurer.
Bulk-billing is available from Monday to Friday for patients under 16 years of age and those holding a valid Pension, Concession, or DVA card. Please note that gap fees may still apply for procedures.
We are committed to bulk-billing the following services:
- Health Assessments and Careplans
- Mental Health Careplans and reviews
- Full-body Skin checks (for existing patients only)
- Healthy Heart Checks
It's important to note that no bulk-billing is available on weekends or public holidays.
