A charge with the descriptor “MATHEWS, LEENA MARIAM Hurstbridge AUS” is likely a consultation or procedure fee billed under her individual provider/ABN for a visit at Hurstbridge Medical Centre or a related clinic. This could include standard GP consultations, long consultations, care plans, vaccinations, or follow‑up visits, and may represent your out‑of‑pocket gap after Medicare, a privately billed consult, or a telehealth service. Depending on how your bank formats descriptors, it may show her legal name (including middle name “Mariam”) rather than the clinic name, which can be confusing when you’re reviewing your statement.([abr.business.gov.au](https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?id=59976638895&utm_source=openai))

If you’re unsure about this charge, start by checking your recent medical appointments around the transaction date for visits to Hurstbridge Medical Centre or any practice where you saw Dr Leena Mathews. Look for email/SMS confirmations, Medicare claim history, or itemised invoices from the clinic. To resolve questions, you can contact the practice you visited (most commonly Hurstbridge Medical Centre or Yarra Trail Medical) and ask for an account statement under your name and date of birth; they can confirm the date of service, fee, and Medicare items billed. If the charge still doesn’t match your records, speak with your bank about disputing the transaction, but have as much detail as possible (appointment dates, receipts, Medicare history) ready when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from "MATHEWS, LEENA MARIAM Hurstbridge AUS" on my card statement?

This descriptor refers to a consultation or medical service billed by Dr Leena Mathews, a general practitioner who consults in the Hurstbridge/Briar Hill area. Banks often show the practitioner’s legal name and suburb (Hurstbridge) instead of the clinic name, so charges for visits at Hurstbridge Medical Centre or a related practice may appear this way.

What types of services from Dr Leena Mathews typically result in card charges?

Common card charges include standard or long GP consultations, women’s health visits, chronic disease management reviews, childhood immunisations, and other primary care services. The amount may represent either the full fee or just the out‑of‑pocket gap after Medicare benefits are applied, depending on the clinic’s billing policy.

I thought my visit to Hurstbridge Medical Centre was bulk‑billed—why was my card still charged under Dr Leena Mathews’ name?

Some visits may attract a private or gap fee even when part of the consultation is covered by Medicare, for example longer consultations, procedures, or certain after‑hours or non‑Medicare‑eligible services. The clinic may process this patient contribution against Dr Leena Mathews’ provider number, which is why her name appears on your statement.

How can I verify what this charge from Dr Leena Mathews was for?

Check your appointment history and Medicare claims around the transaction date, then contact the practice where you saw her (such as Hurstbridge Medical Centre or Yarra Trail Medical). Ask for an itemised account or receipt for services on that date; the clinic can confirm the exact service, fee, and Medicare item numbers billed.

Does Dr Leena Mathews offer telehealth, and how would that appear on my statement?

If you had a telehealth consultation that required a private or gap fee, the payment may still be processed under “MATHEWS, LEENA MARIAM” with the associated suburb, even though the visit was by phone or video. The descriptor usually won’t distinguish in‑person from telehealth visits, so you’ll need to match it with your appointment records.

How do I request a refund or discuss an overcharge with Dr Leena Mathews’ billing?

Contact the clinic where the service was provided—typically Hurstbridge Medical Centre or Yarra Trail Medical—and ask to speak with reception or the accounts department. Provide your full name, date of birth, the date of service, and the exact card amount so they can review the account, correct any billing errors, and process a refund if warranted.

Can this charge from Dr Leena Mathews be an authorization hold that will drop off?

Most payments to GP clinics are captured immediately rather than as temporary holds, but in some cases your bank may briefly show a pending or duplicate amount before settling the final charge. If you see a small pending amount that later disappears or is replaced by a single final charge, it was likely just the bank’s authorization process.

What should I do if I don’t recognize ever seeing Dr Leena Mathews but was charged?

First, check whether any family members on your card (spouse, children, dependants) recently attended Hurstbridge Medical Centre or a related clinic, as the bill may be in their name. If no one recognizes the visit, call the clinic and ask them to search by the cardholder’s name and date of birth. If they cannot find a matching record, contact your bank to report a potentially unauthorized transaction and start a dispute investigation.
