Fees

The doctors consulting at Casino Medical Centre operate their own independent medical practices, and therefore may have different fee arrangements. Each of the doctors consulting at Casino Medical Centre currently operate a private billing practice and accept cash, cheque, EFTPOS & credit card payments. If you have any questions about your doctor’s fees, please contact reception.

Your doctor will usually bulk bill children under 16 (some exceptions apply) and direct the accounts of veteran’s affairs cardholders to the Department.

Normally, you will be advised of the fees for any procedure by your doctor or reception. Please do not hesitate to ask about fees if you are unsure.
