Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie Fees & Billing Information
If you require an iron infusion, you are in the right place at Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie. Our doctors will first run some blood tests to pinpoint the exact dosage you need before proceeding with the treatment.
Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie - Mixed Billing Practice
Westcare Medical Centre Thornlie is a mixed billing practice. The reality is that Medicare rebates do not cover the cost of providing you with a high-quality professional service. The fees charged by this practice must cover all of our practice costs, including employing receptionists and practice nurses and meeting our operating expenses such as rent, medical equipment, electricity, computers and insurance. We are committed to providing the very best quality healthcare for our patients and pride ourselves in our commitment to deliver this.
(Except on weekends, public holidays and telehealth consults)
