Consultation fees

Melbourne Gastroenterology Solutions provides administrative support to independent practitioners, including the processing of accounts. Private billing fees apply to most consultations, and payment is expected on the day of your appointment. Medicare rebates are available for consultations, and we can process these for you after payment of your account

*The pension rate applies to Blue Pension Card holders only; Health Care Cards (HCC) do not qualify for this rate. No discount to fees on Saturdays.

**Non-Medicare cardholders will not receive a rebate from Medicare and will be liable for the full fee. If you do not hold a Medicare card, please contact us for further information on fees.

Melbourne Gastroenterology Solutions accepts payments by credit/debit card only. No cash payments are accepted. We utilize a secure online banking platform to process payments. Bank transfer may be accepted with prior notice.

In some cases, your doctor may elect to bulk bill the fee for your consultation. This depends on the nature of the consultation and is at the doctor's discretion. However, this is not a guarantee that future consultations or procedures will be bulk billed.

Procedure Fees

Gastroenterologist will not charge any gap for procedures.

You will be provided with an Estimate of Medical Fees outlining the expected item numbers and charges, and any gap you might need to pay.

You may have an excess with your private health fund depending on the details of your policy. This would be payable on admission to the hospital. Additionally, you may have a gap fee for your anaesthetist.

If you do not have private health insurance, fees will apply for procedures performed at private hospitals. However, you may elect to use the public system, and your specialist will discuss this option further with you.

If you are a non-resident or do not hold a Medicare card, fees will apply for any procedures performed.
