Policies and Appointments

Policy

APPOINTMENTS

No one should wait longer than 3 days for an appointment. All appointments for all areas are made through the Buderim rooms.

Billing

Most consultations are billed at Medicare rates. Old- age Pensioners are generally Bulk billed. Other concessional card holders are billed at rates depending on the level of service needed, & individual circumstances.

After - Hours Cover

I look after all my own Private patients week days & nights. For week-ends & public holidays, I do a 1 in 3 roster with the other 2 Obstetricians in the area. We all also cover each other for urgent situations & urgent deliveries during the day to ensure that no Private patient delivers without an Obstetrician present.

Holidays

I generally take 2 - 3 weeks off around Sept - Oct. each year. My two other colleagues provide emergency & After - Hours cover on a roster basis worked out between themselves . Patients are seen mainly by the one person for routine appointments & follow - up visits during the day., & all Billing is done by my secretaries through my Buderim surgery to avoid confusion.
