Fees and charges for Recalls
Recalling a patient is an essential part of the healthcare system. A recall could be issued for several reasons and indicates that your General Practitioner (GP) requires your attendance in a follow-up appointment. Your GP will determine if you require a recall appointment by reviewing your medical history, results, and any new information to help determine if it is significant to your health care.
If you receive a recall, it is necessary that you book a follow-up appointment with your GP. The doctor needs to see you for a reason, whether test results, preventative care, or a reminder for an appointment.
Fees for a recall will be charged as per our fees and schedule.

Skin Excisions
Pricing for excision procedures are complicated. We can usually provide a price estimate for your procedure, but in some cases, the fee can only be finalized after pathology results are available. All surgical and wound procedures will incur a facility fee and aftercare fee to cover the cost of consumables. This fee will be added to the consultation fees.
Medicare does not cover for any post-procedural consults.
An excision is a procedure where the doctor surgically removes some skin and then closes the defect (hole) using stiches.
Excisions vary widely.
Some variables include :
Size
Body location
Number of stiches
Amount and type of supplies, drugs, equipment and dressings used
Time taken to perform the procedure
Amount of follow-up required after the excision
Suspected clinical diagnosis
We can predict some of these variables before the procedure, but some are unknown. This means we can provide an estimated quote for a procedure, but the final amount will vary.
In most cases, the cost of an excision is subsidized by Medicare (for Australian citizens). the amount paid by Medicare varies according to the location on the body and size of the excision, as well as the pathology result. This means that the Medicare rebate and total fee is unknown until after the procedure.
As a rough guide, the most common fee we charge is about $200 plus (dressing room fee).
This applies if:
The size of the excision is < 15mm
The location is not on the face, lower leg, or other cosmetically/technically challenging areas
The pathology result is not skin cancer
In cases where the pathology result diagnoses skin cancer, where the procedure is in other locations, or the size is larger, the fee will be higher.
*all personal details must be up to date with Medicare if a claim is to be successfully submitted at the clinic.
