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.

When the full amount is paid the reception staff will assist you with claiming the Medicare Rebate.
