All procedures and consultations at all hospitals incur no out of pocket expense ie we are "no gap" providers.
There may be an excess / co-payment payable to the health fund by patients with health insurance having a procedure in a private hospital, depending on your policy. Please check with your health insurer if you are unsure.
When a consultation occurs in our Dean St office the fees are:
- $200 for an initial appointment (approx $143.35 refunded from Medicare)
- $100 for a follow up appointment (approx $71.70 refunded from Medicare)
- some particularly long consultations may attract a larger fee (and medicare refund).
Requests for no out of pocket expense (ie "bulk billing") by those in financial hardship will be considered on a case by case basis.
