Fees
Fees for our most common services are set out below.
For services covered by Medicare we can offer Medicare online. Using this system the full fee is payable at the time of consultation, an on-line Medicare claim is submitted instantly, and the Medicare rebate is reimbursed directly to the claimant. The quickest reimbursement occurs directly into cheque or savings account, so to do that we need the BSB and account number. Alternatively Medicare willl send a cheque, but this takes longer. We prefer payment on the day, however accounts are available in special circumstances and only for established patients of the practice.
A discount is available for pensioner concession or health care card holders who are established as patients of the practice. Consultations are charged at about $15.00 above the Medicare rebate. Full fee is still payable on the day, but with HIC online, the Medicare rebate can be reimbursed in 2 to 3 days.
