Your account can now be sent directly to Medicare electronically. Medicare will then return the cheque to you (this normally takes 14 days). If you pay the account in full, the cheque will be made out in your name. If the gap only was paid, then the cheque will be made payable to Adelaide Road Clinic. Please post the cheque to the clinic as soon as possible. Also, Medicare can now register your eftpos details for faster refunding. Simply complete the form at Medicare and post off to register.

Paying on the day is the cheapest option. When you present your account and receipt at the Medicare office (the nearest is on High Street, Gawler) they will immediately refund your $35.60. Paying in this way means that the cost to you is $24.40. Please enquire at reception regarding the costs when you book for procedures or longer consultations.
Patients should be aware that consultations on Saturday Mornings are payable in full on the day. The cost is $60 and Medicare will rebate $35.60 immediately
when you present your account and receipt at their office.

For concession card holders the gap will be $12 payable on the day. Medicare will send a cheque in the post, which will need to be forwarded to the clinic
as soon as possible.
Each day our clinic sets aside extra time for patients requiring urgent attention for emergencies or conditions where treatment should not be delayed.
If you consider your request falls into one of these categories, please advise our receptionist. Payment for these timeslots is required on the day and is
charged at $60. Medicare will rebate $35.60 immediately when you present your account and receipt at their office.
