Dr Anne’s Fees:
Dr Anne currently operates a ‘known out-of-pocket cost’ tariff for Medicare-rebateable consultations. Time-tiered out-of-pocket costs based on appointment time booked are added to the relevant Medicare item numbers to produce your final bill. This means that you will know up-front how much of your bill will not be covered by Medicare, but not what your total bill will be.
Once you have paid your bill in full and received your rebate back from Medicare you will be out-of-pocket the amount quoted below. Please note carefully that the out-of-pocket cost quoted is NOT the total consultation fee.
| Consultation | Time | Out-of-pocket fee | Â |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard appointment | 20 minutes | $100 | Â |
| Extended appointment | 40 minutes | $220 | Â |
| Extensive/Complex appointment | 60 minutes | $320 | Â |
| Full Skin Check appointment | 40 minutes | $230 | Â |
| Additional fee for skin image capturing & storage | during skin consultations | $10 | Â |
For non-Medicare services, patients should contact the clinic in advance to discuss their applicable fee.
