Non-attenders
We understand that when appointments are booked, life can get in the way. All we ask is that you call to let us know, so that another patient who couldn’t get an appointment, can use it. It is Practice policy that missing your appointment or cancelling within 2 hours of your appointment will result in a fee of a 20min appointment($95/$73). This will need to be paid before booking to be able to see a GP at Noosa Outlook Medical Centre in the future

Medical Records

If you wish to transfer your medical notes in full to another practice we charge a $50 administration fee (*This may be more- dependent on file size/need for clinical input).Our medical software may not be compatible with another surgery. A summary will be sent free of charge upon written request/permission from you, from the respective medical practice.

It is Practice Policy that a full set of records can only be released once outstanding invoices are attended to.

Repeat Prescriptions & Referrals

For some patients who are requesting an “over the phone” request for a prescription, there is a $20.00 charge for such prescriptions, we do request 24 hours notice. An appointment will be required when a patient has not been seen for a period of time decided by their clinician. This allows for best medical practice whereby the condition and medication may need an ongoing review. An appointment is also required for new and ongoing referrals as there is often information in regard to your current condition that needs to be conveyed to the Specialist.

When a prescription is faxed to a local chemist, if they cannot receive the original in a week, you will also be charged postage.
