Medicare and Private Health Care
It is recommended that you confirm with your private health fund that you are covered for private obstetrics, to ensure you will be able to claim the cost of your delivery and hospital stay. All consultations are classed as outpatient services and can be claimed through Medicare for a partial refund.
Gynaecology Fees:
Initial appointment (45 mins) - $200
Follow-up appointment (30 mins) - $100
Additional fees may be charged for in-room procedures such as Mirena insertion, colposcopy etc. A Medicare rebate applies for all consultations and procedures, meaning a portion of the fee is refunded for Medicare card holders.
