* PLEASE NOTE: All appointments booked in the evening clinics will be privately billed. This includes appointments for children. Full payment of your consult is required. You must have a current Medicare card. For concession rate, please supply a Health Care Card and/or Aged Pension Card. 

The team at Pioneer Health are dedicated to providing first-rate care to our patients. Unfortunately, the costs of providing high quality care are significant, and are not matched by Medicare rebates. We therefore charge private fees for most consultations.

Standard Consult

Allows time for discussion of one or two simple problems/conditions.

Long Consult

A long consult is management of a more complex problem and also includes any time the doctor may spend following up after you have left the consult. For example: letters and or telephone calls.

Extra Long Consult

A consult where there is management of a more comprehensive and complex problem. This also includes any time the doctor may spend following up after you have left the consult. For example: letters and or telephone calls.

Telephone Consultations

Please be aware that the above fees apply for telephone consultations. When you book a telephone appointment, either online or by calling the practice, your credit card details are collected so that the payment can be processed following the appointment.

Skin Checks

Skin checks incur an extra $5 on top of the consult fee. For skin surgery costs, please see below "Procedural Fees and Costs"

Worker's Compensation

All consultations for Workers Compensation or Motor Vehicle Injury claims must be paid for on the day until the claim has been approved. Any account for an approved Workers Compensation or Motor Vehicle Injury claim will be directly billed to the insurer, but it is the responsibility of the patient to inform us of any changes to the plan or policy.

We recommend contacting the practice if you are a concession card holder who is new to the practice so that we can provide correct, up to date information.

Procedural Fees and Costs

The cost of your skin surgery will be partly covered by Medicare but you will be required to pay a procedural fee which will be an out of pocket cost for you (see fees below).

After the procedure, once your results are back, you will receive another invoice via email for the Medicare excision fee. After you have paid this invoice you will get the full amount of this fee refunded from Medicare.
