Billing Information

    AHA Mixed Billing

    On behalf of the independent practitioners (doctors) working with AHA Clinics, changes to co-payments for standard consults were introduced in 2022 to help offset the increasing cost of health care in Australia.

    Read more about the reasons why here.

     

    So what does it mean for you?

    Like many medical practices, most patient consultations are covered by Medicare plus a co-payment (also known as a ‘gap’). We have worked hard with the independent practitioners who work from AHA’s clinics along with our finance team to keep your out of pocket cost down as much as possible. The breakdown is as follows:

    • Standard consult: Up to 15 minutes (max. two health concerns), Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm: $20 co-payment
    • Long consult: 15 – 30 minute consult (max. four health concerns), Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm: $40 co-payment
    • Standard after hours consult: Monday to Friday from 6pm, all day Saturday, Sunday and public holidays: $40 co-payment
    • Long after hours consult: Monday to Friday from 6pm, all day Saturday, Sunday and public holidays: $60 co-payment

    As is standard practice, you will continue to pay the GP directly with the Medicare fee reimbursed directly into your bank account.

    *Please note all out of pocket fees will incur a small surcharge payable by patient.

    Co-payment exemptions, Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm:

    • DVA Gold Card holders
    • Families SA
    • All patients who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander will be bulk billed by AHA
    • Patients 65 and over with concession card
    • Child immunisations
    • Health assessments, care plans including mental health and GP management plans

    Co-payment exemptions, ALL times:

    • DVA Gold Card holders
    • Families SA
    Please note that recall appointments are no longer exempt from co-payments. 

    Other procedures

    Full body skin checks require a a co-payment of $50, and a small charge may apply for minor surgical procedures. Fees and charges may change.

    WorkCover and Third Party Consults and procedures are to be settled in full on the day of your appointment.
