COST
Here is a guideline to my charges when you visit me. These are subject to change, but generally are updated on 1 July of each year. Each cost has a Medicare item number, (and attracts a rebate from Medicare detailed parentheses.). If you have registered for automatic refunds with Medicare – my reception staff can automatically arrange these refunds for you. This list contains common items only. There are other item numbers that you may be charged. I will let you know about this prior to performing the procedure.
