Mirena Insertion

Mirena is a type of hormonal IUD (Intrauterine Device) contraception that is easily inserted into the uterus through the cervix. It is a small T-shaped plastic device with a string attached to the base, and the hormone levonorgestrel in the stem. This hormone thickens the mucus at the neck of the uterus, blocking the sperm to get into uterus. It can stay in for up to 5 years and is one of the most effective ways at preventing pregnancy.

It can also be used to control heavy or painful periods. Mirena can be inserted at Vitality Healthcare Medical Centre by Dr Lay Cheng Sia. Please request a Mirena consult at the time of booking.

Change of Billing Policy:

Effective
1 December 2024, a $35 out-of-pocket fee incurs to all private GP consultations due to the SA Government applying payroll tax on private GP billings from July 2024.
Please be noted that a $5 incl. GST Administration Fee will be added to your invoice as part of your out-of-pocket fee.
We continue to bulk-bill kids under 16y/o (Medicare card holders) and concession card holders for Weekdays appointments. Gap fee applies on all Saturday appointments.

Why is the administration fee being applied?
SA Government & Revenue SA have decided to impose payroll tax liability to independent GP private billings. However this payroll tax falls on the practice, not the practitioner. As a result of this imposition, our practice has been forced to revise the billing policy to cover the additional operating cost.

We encourage all patients to sign the petition raised by RACGP to object the payroll tax so that we can continue to deliver an affordable service to patients.
