Billing

Dear patient,

The current Bulk Billing Medicare funding model has failed to keep up with the costs of running a Medical Practice, which has resulted in most Medical Practices introducing patient fees to help meet these rising costs.

Central Victorian Cardiology – Diagnostic services, prides itself on providing an excellent comprehensive cardiology diagnostic service and has mostly bulk billed since its inception.

In order to continue to provide the same high quality cardiac service for the people of Central and Northern Victoria and Southern New South Wales, Central Victorian Cardiology needs to introduce patient fees to help meet increasing Practice running costs.

From the 1st July 2024, the following costs will apply.
