PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS

We have an active population of about 4000 patients. Our patient demographic consists of young families and the elderly that have been coming to the clinic since Dr Butt started. We also have a number of overseas students as we have agreements in place with Bupa, AHM and Medibank to be one of their designated direct billing providers for overseas students. With our location being on the Gold Coast we also have a lot of patients who visit our clinic whilst on holidays.

BILLING ARRANGEMENTS

Our clinic is  mixed billing clinic. We bulk bill for all pension and health care card holders and children under 16. We also bulk bill for follow up consultations. Our standard consultation fee is $70. Primarily with our patient demographic and being that most patients have been attending the clinic for quite some time we do tend to bulk bill for a lot of our patients. We also take on Work Cover and Insurance claim patients. 

PATIENT FLOWS

All standard appointments are 15 minutes long with each doctor having their own preference to appointment times for Procedures, MHCP’s etc. this being 4 patient’s per hour possibly more depending if some are just quick scripts or dressings. It just depends on the doctors booking preference. The 3 most senior doctors are always heavily booked with Dr Butt generally being booked out days in advance. Most days we are fully booked. Our Chronic Disease Management nurse is booked out weeks in advance.
