Creek Road General Practice is a private billing practice, with a gap fee payable in addition to the Medicare rebate received.
- The consultation fee is payable at the time of the consultation.
- A concession rate may be billed for children 15 years or younger, those on a pension or those who have a Health Care Card on weekdays.

- Procedures (eg Implanon & Mirena insertion and skin excisions) will incur an additional fee.
