Medicare Rebates – Online Medicare Claiming
For your convenience, we can transmit your request for Medicare rebate electronically, eliminating the need to lodge your claim at a Medicare office. Please ensure you have updated your bank details with Medicare and your address details are correct.
To assist you to understand our billing protocol we have provided indicative pricing based upon the length of time you are in with your doctor and/or nurse. However, if multiple or complex issues are discussed, a higher fee may be charged.
Your doctor will discuss with you the cost of any procedures at the time of your consultation.
