Fees & Payment
Doctors who operate and practice independently at Hyperdome conduct mixed billing practices. This means that there is an out-of-pocket fee of all consultation types. The doctors bulk bill the following patient groups in person on weekdays only:
- Children under 16 years of age
- Commonwealth concession card holders
- Gold DVA Card Holders
All other appointment types before 8am, and all appointments booked after 6pm on weekdays, or any time on the weekend or on public holidays, will be charged privately and will NOT be bulk billed.
Work Injury/Motor Vehicle Accident Fees
If you have been injured at work, doctors operating from Hyperdome can support you through your recovery. Please note: WorkCover cannot be billed directly unless you have a letter accepting your claim, with a claim number and billing information. If you do not have such a letter, you will be billed by your doctor as normal and you will need to seek reimbursement from your employer or WorkCover.
Please speak to our friendly reception staff to learn more about the fee structure.
Referral & Prescription Requests
Please see your doctor if you require a prescription or a referral to see a specialist. We are unable to provide prescriptions or referrals without an appointment. We are unable to e-mail any prescriptions, if you require a prescription from a telephone appointment, it will be sent via eScript, directly to you by SMS, or to the pharmacy.
Test Results
