South Land

Fees

Southlands Medical Practice [SMP] was established in 1997 as an afterhours practice, to serve the Canberra community.

Fees

Medicare card holders only

All new patients will pay a standard gap fee for their first initial consultation (including children). Thereafter, pension and concession card holders will be charged a concession gap fee. Children under the age of 13 years are bulk billed. You will be given a receipt for you to claim back from Medicare (we do not use HICAPs or easyclaim at this practice).

Private patients (non-Medicare card holders)

Are ineligible for Medicare benefits Schedule (MBS) rebate and will pay the whole fee.

Pre-payment

Please note that SMP takes pre-payment for the consultation time you have booked. Please be aware that, if more than one issue is raised with the doctor and the time extends into a higher MBS item, you will be billed the difference at the end of the consultation.
