Bulk Billing for Airlie Beach Patients

Coral Coast Doctors offers bulk billed consultations for Medicare-eligible patients where the service is eligible under Medicare. Some services may not be eligible for bulk billing or may attract an out-of-pocket fee.

A standard appointment at Coral Coast Doctors is 10 minutes and is generally suitable for discussing one straightforward health concern. Please book a longer appointment for multiple health concerns; mental health concerns or a Mental Health Treatment Plan; chronic disease management or a complex medical problem; or detailed forms, assessments, procedures or comprehensive health checks. Selecting the appropriate appointment length gives your doctor enough time to provide thorough and safe care. Please speak with reception if you are unsure which appointment type to book.

Yes. Same-day appointments are available when capacity allows. You can check current availability and book online through HotDoc, or call reception on 1300 272 897. Please tell reception if your concern is urgent so the team can help arrange the most appropriate care. Coral Coast Doctors is not an emergency department.

Yes. Telehealth appointments are available for eligible patients who have attended Coral Coast Doctors in person within the previous 12 months. Some health concerns require a physical examination, so your doctor may recommend an in-person appointment. For a child's telehealth consultation, the child must be present with their parent or carer during the appointment.

Yes. Coral Coast Doctors welcomes international visitors, tourists, overseas students and temporary residents. We accept most private health insurance, including many Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and Overseas Visitor Health Cover (OVHC) policies. Please bring your insurance membership card or policy details and photo identification. Coverage and direct-billing arrangements vary between insurers and policies. We recommend confirming your eligibility with your insurer or contacting reception before your appointment. Any fees not covered by your insurer will be payable by the patient.

Please cancel or reschedule your appointment at least two hours before the scheduled time. Giving adequate notice allows the appointment to be offered to another patient who needs care. Please contact reception for current fees and billing information.
