Fees & Cancellations

Fees

  • We do not bulk-bill in the clinic (except for pensioners).
  • Full payment is required on the day of your appointment for a visit in person. We then send the claim to Medicare on your behalf and you will receive the Medicare rebate directly into your nominated bank account, usually within 2 working days.
  • Private health insurance does not cover consultation costs unless you are an inpatient in the hospital. However, for privately-insured patients, A/Prof Mews performs surgery on a “no-gap” basis, meaning that you will not face any out-of-pocket costs for A/Prof Mews’ services whilst in hospital.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel an appointment, please telephone our clinic during business hours and allow at least 24 – 48 hours’ notice so that we can offer your appointment time to other patients that are eagerly waiting for a consultation. Same-day cancellations may attract a cancellation fee, which would need to be paid before further consultations are offered.
