FEES

Eastern Rheumatology is a private clinic, but if you have a valid Medicare card, you may receive a government rebate upon lodgement of a claim. Payment is expected on the day on consultation, and our staff can assist you to lodge a claim with Medicare electronically. This usually means you will receive your rebate within 24-48 hours into the account registered with Medicare. We offer a discount for patients with a valid Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card. Patients with valid DVA cards are funded with no gap.

Our physicians set their fees independently, but the table below gives a guide on the average charges depending on your circumstances.
