Fees for Service
Parkville Allergy Asthma & Immunology Consultants
Fees are payable immediately following the consultation. We accept cash, EFTPOS and Visa/Mastercard. You will be able to process your Medicare rebate claim on the spot. This means that your claim will be automatically paid within a few days if Medicare have your bank account details.
If you anticipate that you or your family may have gaps totalling more than several hundred dollars per year, please save the receipts as you may be able to claim some of these under the Safety Net Scheme. For more info, visit Medicare Australia's page on the Medicare Safety Net.
Most patients are likely to have a consultation and allergy skin prick testing performed.
