This is not a bulk-billing practice, so there are out of pocket expenses. Full payment is required at the time of consultation or by prior arrangement. Electronic payments by EFTPOS, credit card or Direct Deposit are preferred.
Medicare rebates are available to eligible patients. Current and Valid referrals are essential to enable claiming and to give the specialist as much information as possible to help you with your medical care. DVA rates and Workcover are also available to patients with appropriate approvals.
The fees cover the cost of the consultation and producing a detailed letter of advice to you and your referring doctor.
We provide “No Gap” care for patients in-hospital, so you will not have any extra expenses if your Health Fund approves your care in hospital.
