FEES, AND MISSED APPOINTMENT POLICY

FEES

Our fees reflect the time, experience, and clinical judgment of your General Practitioner, as well as the costs of running Treasury Medical as an independent, family-owned practice dedicated to high-quality, continuous care.

By booking an appointment, you are reserving your doctor’s time. If you do not attend or cancel without adequate notice, the consultation fee still applies, as that time has been set aside for you and cannot be offered to another patient.

Fees are payable on the day of service.
Where an account remains unpaid, we use a professional debt collection service. Please note that collection processes attract additional fees (approximately 50% of the original amount owed), which are added by the collection agency.

Fees for Drs Sharman, Noor and Adams

The standard consultation fee is $104. A Medicare rebate of $42.85 is currently available.

Concession card holders may be eligible for a reduced fee; however, your first consultation is always charged at the full standard fee.

Longer consultations, procedures, and additional services attract fees that are proportionate to the time and complexity involved.

Fees for Dr Finlayson

Dr Finlayson is the Practice Principal and Director of Treasury Medical, with overall responsibility for the clinical and operational management of the practice.

Dr Finlayson’s patient list is currently closed, and he is generally not accepting new patients.

The standard consultation fee is $127. A Medicare rebate of $42.85 is currently available.
Same-day appointments are $127 for all patients, regardless of concession status.

Reduced fees may apply for concession card holders and children, except for same-day bookings.

Longer consultations, procedures, and additional services attract fees that are proportionate to the time and complexity involved.

MISSED APPOINTMENTS

All of our doctors consult by appointment. We also reserve a limited number of same-day appointments for patients who require more urgent care. These appointments are intended for clinical need; they are not a substitute for routine preparation or pre-planning, though we will assist where possible.

When a booked appointment is missed without notice, the doctor’s time is lost and another patient who may have needed to be seen is unable to use that appointment. The operating costs of the practice remain, the doctor’s time cannot be recovered, and care is delayed for others.

For this reason, a Missed Appointment Fee is charged when adequate notice is not provided.
This fee varies by doctor, but may be up to the full consultation fee that would have applied.

To avoid this fee, please provide at least two working hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.
For appointments booked in the first two hours of the morning, notice is required by 2:00pm on the business day prior, so that we can offer the appointment to someone on our waitlist.

Please also be aware that arriving late may be considered a missed appointment if the doctor is no longer able to see you without impacting other patients who have arrived on time.

Patients sometimes ask why late arrivals cannot simply be accommodated when a doctor is running behind. Doctors run late only when clinical need requires more time or when earlier patients have arrived late. We make every effort to run to time. Doctors do not prefer to run late; delays affect their ability to take breaks and finish at a reasonable hour.

Our goal is to provide care that is high-quality, respectful, and fair to all.
Thank you for supporting this.

Medicare Safety Nets

Medicare Safety Nets are designed to reduce your out-of-pocket costs once you and your family reach certain annual thresholds.

When you reach the Extended Medicare Safety Net (EMSN), Medicare provides a substantial additional rebate for Medicare-eligible services. This means your out-of-pocket costs become significantly lower.

Because the EMSN already provides this additional financial support, our doctors do not apply further fee reductions once the Safety Net has been reached. Any discount at that point is already being contributed by Medicare.
