City Medical Wollongong

MAY 2019 - Update

From Saturday 4 May all weekends and Public Holidays will be Private Billing except for Pension Card Holders and Overseas Students who are affiliated with Bupa, AHM, Medibank, Allianz or NIB.

A standard GAP FEE OF $30 WILL BE PAYABLE ON THE DAY- EFTPOS and Medicare rebates are available on the day!

City Medical Wollongong wishes to inform all patients that we have introduced a $20 fee for patients who book an appointment but fail to cancel at least 1 hour prior. Being a fully bulk billed practice we ensure we give the best service possible and are unable to accommodate appointments where patients fail to cancel their booking. The fee will need to be paid prior to seeing the doctor on the next consultation.

Dr Gupta ONLY has introduced Mixed Billing therefore there will be a small out of pocket charge (Gap payment) on the day for your consultation.

City Medical Wollongong was established in March 2017 and is Wollongong's newest general practice. Our doctors and nurses provide excellent healthcare by combining up-to-date medicine within a relaxed and friendly family practice environment.

Our dedicated and experienced general practitioners work together to provide a comprehensive range of services, including:

• Skin cancer checks

• Pre-employment medicals and insurance medicals

• Health assessments

• Chronic disease management

• Driving medicals

• ECG’s

• Spirometry

• Pathology

• Family planning and antenatal shared care

• Immunisations and travel vaccinations

• Men’s, women’s and children’s health checks

• Cancer screening

• Workers compensation

• Wound treatments

• Minor surgery

As a bulk billing practice we offer bulk billing to all patients with a valid Medicare card. This means there is generally no out-of-pocket cost for general consultations. We are affiliated with AHM, Medibank, BUPA, NIB and Allianz health funds for Overseas Students and therefore do not charge a gap – we simply bill your health fund for no out of pocket fee.

Our location is ideal for residents of Wollongong and the surrounding suburbs, including Fairy Meadow, North Wollongong, Mount Ousley, Keiraville, Gwynneville, Mangerton, Fig Tree, Mount St Thomas and Spring Hill. We are close to public transport services with bus stops within short walking distance of the practice. Alternatively, for those who prefer to drive,parking is available next door if using Hospital Hill pharmacy or Wollongong Diagnostics.
