Fees, Gap and Rebates
Please ensure that your bank details are registered with Medicare prior to your appointment and that you fill in the clinic forms online or in person with up-to-date information so that our reception staff can claim the rebate for you and the rebate is usually deposited in your bank account in 24-48 hours. Appointments need to be paid in full before you are able to receive the Medicare rebate.
The difference between the fee and the Medicare rebate is the “gap” or out of pocket cost for the appointment.
- Fees: The estimation of the initial consultation fee, including diagnostic testing, will be a approximately $650.00, payable on the day. Please remember that all requests for reports, letters, and form completions will incur costs. Please ask for a quote of cost at the time of the request. We accept the following methods of payment – EFTPOS / credit card facilities and cheques.
- WorkCover Claims: If you have a WorkCover claim, as per our policy, written approval from your Case Manager is required, and they will need to email this to: [email protected]. If we haven’t received written approval from WorkCover at your appointment, you’ll need to pay for the consultation and seek reimbursement from WorkCover.
Please note that there are administrative charges for releasing any reports to a third party based on your information-sharing requests, other than the AMA who would have received the report. The assessment will be for the current employer’s AMA and the job role you are employed in. A new assessment will be necessary if there is a change of employment or in the job role.
If you feel your situation worsens before your scheduled appointment, please present at the Emergency Department of your local hospital or contact your General Practitioner.
