Practice Billing Principles

Rothwell Family Practice is a mixed billing practice.

Consultation Fees

Appointments are recommended. Please cancel your appointment if you no longer need it as this will open space up for others. Failure to attend an appointment twice without notification of cancellation will incur a $40 non-attendance fee.

Process for the Follow-Up of Results/Prescriptions/Referrals

Patients are contacted by the surgery staff within 24 hours time to relay an urgent test result. For non urgent results, it can take 2-5 days before patients are contacted to make an appointment.

Patients are contacted via text messages and by following the prompts through these text messages, patients can make follow up appointments as well.

For non-urgent test results, we make 3 attempts to contact the patient and depending upon the nature of the test results, we will post a letter as well. Patients are advised to make sure that they inform surgery about their up to date contact details. If the contact details are not up to date, we may not be able to contact the patients and relay the test results notifications.

Health Information Management Policy

This practice abides by the current Privacy Act and all the information given by the patients is guarded with the highest possible standard of confidentiality. If you wish to see a copy of our privacy policy please see the reception desk.
