WELCOME TO ASHBURTON MEDICAL CLINIC

Ashburton Medical Clinic is a Mixed-billing Practice.  Doctors bill according to (1) time taken in the appointment and (2) the medical complexity of the discussed issue. As a general guide, if you have more than one issue to discuss with the Doctor, you are advised to book a Long+ appointment.

ALL NEW PATIENTS, EXCLUDING THOSE WITH A HEALTH CARE OR PENSION CARDS, MUST PAY A $95.00 ADVANCE DEPOSIT.

IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL FEES FOR THE DAY, YOU WILL BE INFORMED AFTER THE CONSULTATION.

OUR RECEPTION STAFF WILL ALSO ASSIST WITH PROCESSING YOUR MEDICARE REBATE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE.
