Queensland's peak medical bodies are warning the cost of going to the doctor could skyrocket as general practice comes under more strain due to a clash over tax law.
An increase to the amount of payroll tax medical practices could be liable for may force Queenslanders to pay up to $15 more at the doctors, according to one medical accountant.
General practitioners are sounding the alarm that they will have to pass on some costs to patients and cut bulk billing, or be forced to close their clinics.
