| Our consultations are billed according to the AMA. However we participate in no gap medical insurance policies and charge considerably less than the AMA recommended fee for all surgical procedures, minimising out of pocket charges. Angiographic procedures do not attract any gap payments.
We are very compassionate to the financial needs of the community and apply a discount to Pension Card holders.
Initial Consultation: Standard Fee: $144 Pension Discount: $129
Follow-up Consultation: Standard Fee: $77 Pension Discount: $69
All Veteran Affairs patients are billed directly to the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Discount applies for all Healthcare professionals.
All patients who are booked for any surgical procedure will be given an informed financial consent, which needs to be signed and returned to our office prior to any procedure.
