About Southern Regional Medical Group

Southern Regional Medical Group is a private general medical practice based in Albany, Western Australia, providing comprehensive primary healthcare to individuals and families. Their doctors offer a wide range of services including family medicine, women’s and men’s health, antenatal and shared obstetric care, chronic disease management (such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory conditions), minor surgical procedures, preventative health checks, immunisations, and various specialist GP services. As a private billing clinic, they generally charge consultation fees and, where applicable, process Medicare rebates for eligible patients.

A charge from Southern Regional Medical Group may appear on your bank or card statement after you attend an in-person consultation, a telehealth/phone appointment, a minor procedure, or an obstetric/prenatal visit. You might also see charges for allied health or nurse-led services provided through the clinic, care plans, wound management, vaccinations, or uninsured components of pregnancy and postnatal care. Some payments are processed on the day of the appointment, while others may be processed later the same day, particularly for telephone or online bookings. In some cases, you may notice a pre-authorisation or pending amount if your card details were used to secure a booking or if the final fee was not yet confirmed at the time of processing.

If you’re unsure about a Southern Regional Medical Group charge, first check your recent medical appointments, telehealth calls, and family members who may have used your card, then compare the date of service with the transaction date. Your itemised receipt is usually provided at the time of payment or can be requested directly from the practice, and your Medicare claim history (in myGov) may also show matching consultations or procedures. To clarify or dispute a charge, contact the practice via the details on albanydoctors.com.au or phone their reception team, who can look up your account, re-send invoices or receipts, explain Medicare rebates and out-of-pocket costs, and correct any billing errors where necessary before you contact your bank or card issuer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Southern Regional Medical Group charge me when I only had a short appointment?

Southern Regional Medical Group bills based on the type and length of consultation, not purely on how long you were in the room. Even brief visits can be billed as a standard consultation if a full clinical assessment, prescription, referral, or care planning was involved. In some cases, additional fees apply for procedures, dressings, or specialised services provided during the same visit. You can request an itemised statement from reception to see exactly what was billed.

What are the typical fees Southern Regional Medical Group charges for GP consultations?

As a private billing practice, Southern Regional Medical Group usually charges a fee for standard and long consultations, with a Medicare rebate available for eligible patients. Typical out-of-pocket costs for a standard GP appointment in privately billing Australian clinics often fall in the range of AUD $30–$60 after the Medicare rebate, but exact fees vary by doctor, appointment length, and service type. Certain services such as procedures, obstetric care, and specialised assessments may attract higher fees. For current pricing, contact the clinic directly or check their information on albanydoctors.com.au.

Why do I see multiple charges from Southern Regional Medical Group on the same day?

Multiple charges on the same day can occur if more than one family member was seen and you used the same card, or if you had both a consultation and a procedure (such as a skin excision, iron infusion, or wound care) billed separately. You might also see separate transactions if the Medicare rebate was processed through your card using a payment terminal that performs a debit and credit sequence. Ask the practice for an itemised account, which will show how each service and rebate corresponds to the charges on your statement.

How do I query or dispute a charge from Southern Regional Medical Group?

If you don’t recognise a charge, contact Southern Regional Medical Group directly before going to your bank, as they can usually explain or correct billing issues quickly. Have the transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of the card handy so reception can locate the payment in their system. They can provide receipts, explain which patient and service the charge relates to, and fix duplicate or incorrect charges if an error has occurred. Only if the practice cannot resolve the issue should you consider raising a dispute with your bank.

Can Southern Regional Medical Group store my card and place pre-authorisation holds?

Some Australian medical practices use secure payment systems that allow card details to be stored for no-show fees, telehealth billing, or to streamline payment after an appointment. In these cases, you may see a small pre-authorisation or pending charge that is later adjusted to the final consultation fee or released if not used. If you notice an unfamiliar pending amount from Southern Regional Medical Group, contact the practice to confirm whether it relates to a recent or upcoming booking. They can explain the purpose of the hold and when it will be finalised or removed.

How can I get a copy of my invoice or receipt from Southern Regional Medical Group?

You can request a copy of your invoice or receipt by calling the practice reception or using the contact details on albanydoctors.com.au. They can usually email or print an itemised statement showing consultation dates, item numbers, fees charged, and any Medicare rebates processed. This is helpful if you’re reconciling bank charges, claiming from private health insurance for eligible services, or need records for tax or personal reference. Make sure they have your correct email address and consent for electronic communication.

Does Southern Regional Medical Group offer bulk billing or discounts, and how does that affect my charges?

Southern Regional Medical Group operates primarily as a private billing clinic, but individual doctors may choose to bulk bill certain patients or services (for example, children, pension or concession card holders, or chronic disease care plans) at their discretion. If your visit was bulk billed, you should not see a gap payment for that specific service, though you might still be charged for non-rebatable items like some procedures, dressings, or reports. If you expected to be bulk billed but were charged instead, contact reception to clarify the practice’s billing policy for your circumstances and the specific doctor you saw. They can review your account and explain any out-of-pocket costs.

How do I update my payment details or correct a billing issue linked to my Southern Regional Medical Group account?

To update your card details, change who is responsible for payment, or correct a billing error, call or visit the practice and ask reception to review your account. They can remove old cards, add new details, and ensure that family members are correctly linked so charges appear under the right name. If a payment was declined or processed to the wrong card, they can reverse and reprocess it where appropriate. Always confirm any changes in writing (email or printed receipt) so you have a record for your own files.
