fees
To allow us to provide a high quality of healthcare, we are a private billing practice.
At the time of enquiry or booking, we will be able to give you details of fees, which will vary.
Payment is required immediately after your appointment. We take debit or credit card payments (all common card types). We are unable to accept cash, bank transfer or cheque payments.
Late cancellations or no shows may incur a cancellation fee. Please let us know at least 48 hours in advance if you can’t make it to your appointment, so we can offer this to someone else.
We appreciate your support as we endeavour to provide timely and high quality healthcare.
Medicare Rebates - Safety Nets Thresholds
Medicare Safety Nets have thresholds. When you spend a certain amount in out of pocket costs in a calendar year, you’ll reach the threshold. This is approximately $834.50/ year for healthcare or pension card holders, or approximately $2615.50/ year for all others. These amounts apply to individuals or to families if you have others registered with your Medicare safety net.
Once you’ve reached the threshold, you’ll start getting higher Medicare benefits. This means you’ll get more money back from Medicare for certain services - with a valid Medicare card and referral this includes most services such as medical consultations, infusions and allied health appointments at Specialists 331.
Only verified payments count towards the threshold. Verified payments are when you pay for your health professional service in full, before the Medicare claim is made.
The threshold amounts are set each year from 1 January.
