Charges
ChestCare is not a bulk-billing practice and payment in full is required on the day of a patient consultation.
Procedures may attract additional out-of-pocket expenses and a quote detailing these costs will be provided.
The fee schedule below is current as of May 2022 but ChestCare reserves the right to amend the fee schedule at its discretion.
