The Keperra Clinic Practice is a mixed billing practice, we endeavour to keep our fees affordable to ensure all patients have access to essential healthcare.
Payment by Eftpos or credit card is preferred as we are a cashless business. Patients will receive a rebate from Medicare for privately billed consultations. Surcharges apply to all credit, debit and Eftpos payments.
We use Tyro which is a quick, secure and convenient way to claim your rebate on the spot.
We bulk bill the following :
- Childhood immunisations.
- DVA Gold Card holders and DVA White Card holders for specific conditions.
- Yearly Health Assessments for patients 75 years and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and those with Intellectual Disability.
- GP Management Care Plans and three-monthly reviews. These are aimed to improve and manage a chronic health condition over the 12-month period. The plans are a specific type of appointment available to all patients with certain chronic health conditions.
- Children 12 years and under
A reduced fee is offered to Commonwealth Concession Card holders. Commonwealth Concession cards include: Aged pension card, Senior card, Health Care card and Disability Pension card.

Medicare Safety Nets can help to lower the out-of-pocket costs. When patients spend certain amounts in gap and out of pocket costs, they will reach the thresholds, which means they will start getting higher Medicare benefits and more money back for certain services.
Patients enrolled in Medicare are eligible for Medicare Safety Nets and if they are part of a family or couple they can combine the costs by registering as a family.
