Consultation Fees

​

Our reception staff will advise you for the initial consultation fee and any Medicare rebates that may apply at the time of making the appointment. We ask that all consultation fees be paid on the day of your appointment. We accept cash, cheque or credit card (excluding American Express or Diners). A current referral from your General Practitioner or another Specialist is required for you to claim a rebate through Medicare. If you do not have a valid referral we can still provide services, however you will not be eligible for a Medicare rebate.

​

Surgery Fees

​

After your initial consultation, if surgery is recommended, we will provide you with an estimate of the fees that apply for your procedure. Your itemised quote will include an estimate of the Surgeon's Procedural Fee, Surgical Assistant's Fee (if applicable) and an estimate of the Health Insurance Fund/ Medicare rebates that may apply. Settlement of your account is required prior to your procedure. Occasionally the procedural fee is higher or lower than your initial estimation if variations are required during your procedure - in these cases a refund or additional payment applies.

 

You will also be provided with details of your Anaesthetist to obtain further information about your anaesthetic, including fee estimates any rebates that may apply. 

 

Clinic staff can only provide an accurate fee estimate after your clinic consultation, as the estimate is determined by the type, nature and complexity of the operation as recommended by Dr McNicholl.
